Both have the wheel and tyre package I want. Tyreleader are slightly cheaper but don't have a call centre.
Any experience of these companies?

Purchased from tyreoeader in December. 2 turned up at fitters, others became lost. Queue countless emails with them promising to find out, I heard nothing. Finally disputed it with my bank to have money refunded and then taken again as tyreleader said they'd delivered them.

Still no email from them, so couldn't possibly recommend

Just had 4 x super sports from tyre leader turn up yesterday, 3 days from ordering.

Edit to say:

I tried to use Camskill's price buster but they refused as tyre leader is not a UK company and oponeo is owned by Polish guys only registered here for VAT....

Another thumbs up for tyreleader.

Saved over £100 on 4 Goodyear Eagle F1s compared to the usual blackcircles etc...

However... the tyres for some reason arrived in 2 separate deliveries. Both on the same day and both quickly but just in 2 different vans about 7 hour apart - no idea why.

Just bought my Federal RSR's from Tyreleader... they had a sale on making them ridiculously cheap. The delivery was mega fast, 2 days from Germany!

Would highly recommend.

I had a similar load of nonsense with Tyreleader.

It took ages to get them to sort out their mistake.

They told lie after lie about having despatched tyres, contradicted themselves, sent an incorrect size for one of the tyres, etc.

Absolute crap.

I've never had a problem with Oponeo.

Tyreleader.

Awesome service. 3 days, 2 deliveries(??)
£120 saving from the best of the rest. 3rd time I've used them. (I munch tyres.) smile

Re: the Tyreleader 'two delivery' issue.

They did state that this may happen in their correspondence email once they had received my payment. It didn't happen to me, but I can only guess that they have more than one warehouse?

Probably more likely the carrier hubs screw it up - either way, not complaining.

I've used Oponeo before without issue.

They also sent my tyres as two seperate pairs.

If they use yodel, you will be lucky to see your tyres at all, but that's another story

Hmmmmmmmmmm no negative for Oponeo, an extra £10 a wheel but might be worth it.
I've emailed Tyreleader with a fitment query I'll see how long it takes for them to respond.
