This may be old news , but not had to change tyres on the GTS for few years now - 17000 and one track day from rears if I've done my maths right and still 2- 3 mm left .Just looked back at my old prices and had Bridgestones quoted at over £300 each for 305/30/19 a few years ago.
need to change the rears and a reputable local Indy has just quoted me £187 Ea all in .
Not used to this sort of reversal as cost for everything else always seems to go north- at least in this part of the country.

 
Hi
just for information, had a similar experience replacing 2 rears late 2015. Price almost too good to be true. Bought and fitted at reputable tyre dealer in Northampton. It was only some weeks later I read an article on dot codes on the tyre walls denoting tyre manufacture date. I checked the date of my tyres(inc new rears) and was not surprised to see the rears were already 3 years old.
I will always check in future!

 
Oponeo £165 for N1's delivered.
I usually get then sent to my PC to fit as they look after my wheels and if they do do any damage, they repair or replace FOC.
BTW - 17K and still tread left! You're clearly not driving fast enough!! :ROFLMAO:
Regards,
Clive.
 
Last July I replaced all four with Bridgestone - Bear in mind these were done with other items [s4]

Though obviously not the correct size for your 997 rear tyres, perhaps it gives you a guideline . Bridgestone 295/30/19 N rated. The pair for £440 English pounds inc vat.

Clive ! behave :ROFLMAO:


 
Just had blow out in rear, stuck, so had to have NI Bridgestone replaced at £ 247.00 ( 295/30/19) Then replaced the other side at F1 tyres for only £190.00 fitted with precision balance. So pays to shop around!
Now fitting aftermarket internal TMPS which with a tweak on the PCM will show on display and also accommodate a reversing camera.

Any one going to Santander in May? Just confirmed my attendance, with organisers and booked hotel and ferry
