Can anyone remember who the guy was offering us tyres at a discounted price ?

I know Jimbo is into tyres (ooh err missus) and I think he offered people discounts. 'Fraid you'll have to search yourself Paul, I'm off to the loft with a hot soldering iron. :D

Thanks Monty, Mytyres are the cheapest so far.

A word of warning/caution about mytyres, if I may.
They often look cheapest up front and I've used them several times for all my vehicles.
However, the initial cost can soon be cranked up if you use one of their recommended fitment outlets, some of whom seem to resent you bringing tyres (or having tyres delivered to them ) for fitment.
They'll not only charge you for the fitting of the new tyres, but also for the disposal of your old tyres, if you're not careful.
This can have a leveling effect on quoted figures. Be careful.

I use Blackcircles, same sort of thing as MyTyres, but they give a fully fitted price, no extras to add on.

I've used etyres a few times in the past, they were pretty cheap and come to your place to fit (they have a compressor and balancing machine in the back of a van), they'll also come back out to fix any punctures you get for free.

I've used both Camskill and etyres before.

Both highly recommended.

As Al says, Etyres can supply a full fitting service at you home or work.

I usually can't find anywhere cheaper than Camskill for tyre supply only.

Me too - their Head Office is just round the corner from me in Peebles and I can thoroughly recommend them. Very cheap, huge range and they will get them to your nearest fitter next day. Pay your £££ over the phone, they'll book the car in for and send you an e-mail to confirm

Hi everyone,
All internet companies can be very competitively priced as they hold little or no stock. Orders are placed with their supplier (manufacturer or wholesaler) who ship the tyres to the recipient. Thus very little overhead.
As Sy says watch out for the fitting / disposal cost, many tyre retailers resent the internet companies and understandably charge accordingly.
I personally use Micheldever / Southam Tyres for my own purchases and for products my company doesn't source direct.
I am happy to help anyone on the Forum, but can't allways be as competitive as the internet sites.

Hi

I used http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/ for a pair of tyres Yokohama S Drive 205-50-15 they were £75.00 each inc VAT fitted
You just pick where and when you want them fitted roll up and they just get on with it

They seem to have a deal with National Tyre Service so if there is one close to you its easy and the price is good to boot

I've also used Jimbo's services once or twice and I can thoroughly recommend them.

I personally have found Blackcircles.com to be very competitive. Whilst they quote an all in price (no hidden extras) you can also challenge their prices if needs having found a better quote elsewhere.

Another plus, if you join and opt in for their offers you gain points in your tyre bank which you may use to deduct from future purchases! Very handy me thinks when running more than 1 car like most.

Hope this information helps
