  • Oponeo tyre order wrong!

    I ordered some tyres a couple of weeks ago, this is what I ordered

    Duraturn Mozzo Sport
    245/40R19 98 W XL

    Its a budget tyre £52 per tyre but its what i've had on my car for the past 30,000+ miles and they are a great tyre.

    Anyway this is what turned up. I've had the tyres for a while but went to get them fitted today and they send me Pirelli P ZERO 245/45R19 R-F 98Y i've looked at their website and they are £170+ (can't remember exactly). I've emailed them and told them they sent me the wrong ones.

    The garage (Formula One Autocentre) told me my insignia can't run these run flat tyres, he said the suspension would be so stiff and i'd feel every bump.

    Are they any good?

    Garage are right. The ride would be terrible on run flats. They are the wrong profile too so your speedo would be wrong and they would look a bit daft too.

      I've emailed them, just waiting for a reply.

      I don't understand how they can get the order so wrong. Idiots!!

        that is a big mistake, i would understand an error in the the tyre size e.g. 245/45r19 instead of 245/40r19
        but a completely different brand, size and run flats?
        i use oponeo for my tyres and never had any issues, hopefully they let you keep the tyres and you can sell them and make some money

              yep...agreed
              then with the load of cash you made from ebay, you could've went to a local tyre place, got a better set fitted by them, better than you originally ordered from oponeo and had a nicer sized wallet.

              better tyres and cash to take the wife out

              win win
