Dnk Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I used to get all my tyres from Camskill but I've found they have gone pretty dear these days. I ended up buying Verde all seasons from my RR and had them supplied and fitted by a local mobile fitter for less than the Camskill delivered price. I don't think I've bought a tyre off them for at least 2 years now. Cheapest i found for the Michelins was Camskill or i'd have bought them from who ever was ! no local suppliers would even match the price and i have them fitted very cheaply by a place i know well I have the Verde on the Range now, the Michelins beat them in every test and the difference in price is about a £10 a tyre so a no brainer, those are summer tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 That's a pleasant surprise and no idea why they've done it, Camskill have taken payment for the tyres which was £480 inc delivery and straight after refunded my card £75 ? Just checked the order which is all correct and the tracking says 4 items are at the depot awaiting delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 That's a win, and means they've covered the tyre fitting costs now for you! Yes i'm very happy with that and i'm not paying £75 to fit them Just puzzled as to why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Yes i'm very happy with that and i'm not paying £75 to fit them Just puzzled as to why I bet you're happy. Perhaps they noticed a pricing error on their website while processing the order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 I bet you're happy. Perhaps they noticed a pricing error on their website while processing the order? Camskill were the cheapest place i could find for the PS4 SUV's. £75 off makes them £101.25 each inc delivery so somethings not right as they were £118 on Black circles £126 on Tyreleader etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mike, it needs a repaint really and i'm contemplating a full interior makeover but to do both properly there wouldn't be much change from £10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Anymore updates on this Dunk? No mate not done a fat lot too it, i'm just in the process of looking at bringing the rear wheels out flush with the arch's. I found 2 second hand spacers that i'll use to see what can be done, if its do able i'll make a pair but they will use OE extended studs through the hub and be hub centric. I'm not keen on the studs being screwed in the spacer like the one in the photo Edited September 8, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Tempting but a tad over my budget at £3450 + vat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) The spacers arrived and were in a right state, soaked them in wheel acid for 24 hrs then attacked with scotchbrite for a couple more then gave up and a mate attacked them with a vapour blaster then media blasted them and now they are usable Edited September 12, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
