Wrong tyres :(

[FireFury]

I took my 03-plate Spyder to have some new tyres today - I asked for Bridgestones (and was charged for them) but when I got it home and fixed the pressures on the tyres (which were set too high at the front by the garage, as always) I discovered they'd actually fitted BFGoodrich tyres instead.

Does anyone know anything about BFGoodrich tyres (for road use)?  Should I go back and demand they replace them for the Bridgestones I was originally after, or just get them to refund the price difference between them?

get them changed Bridgestones are way more expensive

If you asked for Bridgstones and have got a receipt saying that you have them I would be straight back there tomorrow asking to speak to the manager and causing a rumpus!

Some BFG's used to have a good reputation - but as with most tyre manufacturers they make several models.

Which do you have? g-Force Profiler, Profiler2 or Touring?

Bottom line is, really - you asked for something, you got something different.

If I had to guess, BFGs should be cheaper than Bridgestones.

I believe they are Profiler2.

I'll go kick up a fuss I guess...  such a hassle  s:( s:(

Not even the top of the line model then, so likely much cheaper than the Bridgestones - not that I can find an online supplier of BFG to check against.

They've admitted fault and said they will arrange to sort it out next week, so hopefully I'll get them swapped without much trouble.

A check around shows the 15" BFG Profiler2s at £60 -  m http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/sse/select/ID/474/ m
Although I can't see anyone doing the Bridgestone RE720s for 15" rims.  The 14" RE720s are £66 and the 15" RE040s are £73
