Where to buy Winter Tyres online?
Discussion
I'm looking for some winter tyres for my wifes car.
I want to order them now, as I would guess they wont get cheaper in Nov/Dec!
I am pretty convinced of their ability after having a BMW e39 530d touring (a car that is normally rubbish in the snow) last winter that happened to have winter tyres fitted, this was my first experience of winter tyres and it was a revelation to say the least.
Having just had new baby recently, a few weeks ago I changed her BMW 1 Series for an Audi Quattro Avant.
We live in an area with lots of long steep inclines, so after the last two winters and a new baby, I want to be sure.
Anyway after doing a bit of online research Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme seem to be as good as any, but at £133 a corner quite pricey.
Size is 235/45/R17
I've tried:
Mytyres
Etyres
Blackcircles and one or two others I cant remember.
Pneus Online are so far the cheapest at £132 a corner £1 cheaper.
Anyone know of better?
I'd consider a different Tyre if someone can present some reasonable evidence of the quality.

I've bought winter tyres for 2 cars from Mytyres.co.uk within the last year.
They are based in Germany so choice and availabilty are excellent.
You can have them delivered to your home or they can arrange to have them delivered to a garage for fitment.
I had them delivered home and they took 4 days from Germany from ordering to delivery.They also allow you to track them so you know when to expect them.
Top service.

I have used mytyres.co.uk many times - as has been said, they tyres come from the Germany warehouse and they know their stuff when it comes to winter tyres.
ou might find 225x45s a bit cheaper as they are a common size. Minor different in dimensions, plus narrower will probably help on certain (the worst) surfaces.

Ordered them last night with Tyremen. Got a call this morning to say they are out of stock until early October, when they have a big winter delivery coming in, and they have not been able to order as much as they would have liked.
They have been taking orders for winter tyres since the end of August, something they have not experienced before.
No real problem for me, I was only going to store them in the garage until November anyway.

That's why I recommended MyTyres.They have been taking orders for winter tyres since the end of August, something they have not experienced before.

I went through all this rigmarole with British suppliers,with dates being put back, and it became a never ending story.
Quick phone call to Mytyres after chosing what I wanted on-line( I phoned so that I could check the tyres would defo be in stock- after being messed around in the UK I wanted to make sure), and sure enough after 4 days they were on my doorstep.
Having bought a set of cheap wheels I then took them round to a local garage and had them fitted the same day.
Simples.
Ordered my winters off Mytyres on a Friday afternoon. Had them by the following Thursday morning, and that's an extra day for getting them to N. Ireland. Were shipped from Riga in Latvia.
Just make sure you use Paypal to pay - otherwise you have to go through a rigmarole of sending proof of ID etc to Mytyres by fax.
