Yes - via email from a different guy saying Travis is on holiday. Still helped though!

Hi Travis.

I'm in need 2 Continental 4x4 Sportcontact tyres for my parents' 2010 Range Rover Sport - 275/40/R20 106Y.
The winter wheel are due to come off next week.

I put through my details 3 or 4 days ago to get a quote - it was one of the best at the time. I've now gone to order them and the price has jumped from around £168 to £180+ per unit.

Is there any deal you could kindly offer?
I've PM'ed this to you as well

Many thanks in advance,
Darren

No reply here, but I have now purchased 4 tyres.
The extra cost was caused by having the fitment option ticked.
Having only delivery meant the price was originally quoted and the cheapest I could find.

Expecting delivery in a couple of days

Don't think Travis has been on this site since 31st March,

and no reply to emails.

will go to http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/ their prices look better

[silentbrown]

Tyregiant prices normally include fitting, TyreLeader doesn't.

But yes, slightly worrying lack of response to PMs. TyreGiant prices are pretty good but a few extra % of discount would have helped

[PapaJohns]

I'd of been interested to find out what price I'd of been quoted as the link to the pistonheads discount is the same prices as joe public,
Any who's I couldn't wait bought me 4 x Michelin pilot super sports for £456 fitted


They've missed out on a few quid!

They can include fitting but there's also the option with Tyre Giant to select delivery only.
And for delivery only Tyre leader are cheaper.

I happen to want my tyres fitted by the guy who's refurbishing my alloys, as he has a touchless machine.

[JoeEcho]

Do you think its worth calling tyregiant and mentioning the pistonheads discount?

[Harris_I]

Let us know if you're successful. I've sent a PM ref 3 sets of tyres for 3 different cars but no response. Would be helpful to know if Tyregiant can offer a discount for PHers calling them direct.

Afternoon All,

Would just like to take this time to introduce myself,

I’m Anthony and work closely with the Tyre Giant and Pistonheads Tyres team.

If we have missed your post please feel free to drop me a PM or post on here and I will get back to you ASAP

Travis is still very much active in the forums but I am also happy to help with any tyre quotes or queries you may have.

All posts should have had a new PM, if it hasn’t come through for any reason give me a shout,

Thanks

Anthony

[JoeEcho]

No joy over the phone.

I have now sent you a pm Ant

[JoeEcho]

Has anyone has a reply or pm yet?

[silentbrown]

I did get an email from Ant last Friday...

[JoeEcho]

Ah right in wondering if my pm had got lost as I haven't heard anything just yet.

[ant591]

Hi JoeEcho

You should have had an email back on Saturday to your email address,

Let me know if you haven’t got this,

Thanks

Anthony

[JoeEcho]

Nope didn't get anything at all mate. No idea why not? can you post it on here?

[cailean]

Not really impressed, bought 2 Goodyear F1's and they have a manufacturing date of almost a year ago, surely not normal? Oh and they were no cheaper than anywhere else even with the PH 'discount'...

I bought 2 similar tyres from Blackcircle last year and their manufacturing date was about 6 weeks prior to purchase date - what I would expect.

And the fitters balancing machine was not working today so have to go back in a week or so to get them balanced properly (not a fault of Tyre Giant but just added to the experience).

Hi there, I'm looking for the best deal on either of the following in a 205/55/16
Goodyear vector all season
Bridgestone a001
Vredestein quatrac 5


2 tyres required (already have 2 quatrac3 on the rear with probably 5mm remaining).

It's for a Merc Cclass c180. Low mileage but I want it to perform in very ocaissional light snow and to have M &S stamp for legal winter in France or Germany.

Not wanting to jump on the thread, but with that short list in that size you really want to be looking at the Michelin CrossClimate, Tyre Giant should be getting stocks in last and this week.

They sound like just the job as well.

[Sir Bagalot]

I PM'd Ant591 earlier today. Response was timely and a discount code that sealed the deal.

Tyres to be fitted this week
