Hi, anyone got any experience of 'Blackcircles.Co' tyre retailers ? Looking for some 205/55 R15's. They have 'selected' budget tyres for 33 quid and even premium Avons, Dunlops etc for around 66 quid...................Seems good value to me.

Why not try "price match" any good on-line prices you find with local tyre fitting outfits. Time and again if you shop around prices will be matched for just about any tyre brand and size. That has been my experience in Gloucester and Cheltenham and you will create good will with local businesses, not just National Outlet Chains with premises in most larger towns etc., seek out local businesses.

A google search will turn them up then phone round or call. That's what I've been doing for a few years now and saved a nice few quid in the process. Local supply and fitting a great help to.

I'm going to shop around for some 225/45 18" R in Uniroyal Rainmaster 3s. Recently fitted 205/45 17" Rainmaster 3s to my wife's MG ZS. Well pleased with cost and above all, the performance of these Rainmaster 3s.

Used them and had very good service. If you go for the Fitting option you can get them done at a local fitte.

Used them a few years ago, no complaints, but Costco have been the cheapest recently for a set of Michelin PS3's.

I seem to find that tyreleader is the cheapest when I'm looking.

Ill be needing some 205/55/16 myself soon and will likely go for the Rainsport 3 or Vredestein
Sportrac 5 at £41 each when the time comes.

I have also had good service from tyretraders.

Try "oponeo" and "pneus".

Both provide tremendous prices and service

While we're on the subject and I don't feel the need for a new thread. Anyone have any experience with Mayrun tyres? I'm looking at the MR500 model on an 18 inch rim. I know I know everyone is just going to say spend the extra dollars are get something reputable. But the reviews look good (maybe a little too good) and they are heaps cheaper.

RS3's are great, sidewalls a bit soft but would recommend them no problem smile
Dry grips good, wet grip is great!!
