Afternoon All,

Currently I am trawling the internet trying so buy some new tyres as my current ones have just hit their wear limit.

What websites would you recommend for new tyres?

At the moment the best price I have found is £106 for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyres fully fitted.

Regards,

Danny

Camskill. Great service, great prices. Never had a problem with them.

Try Event Tyres, they were nearly the cheapest I could find and also came to the office so win, win.

Camskill are cheaper but come without fitting.

Ive also looked at etyres but they are more expensive than black circles.

Don't write off your local tyre depot....

I was after some Uniroyal Rainsport 2's for my Corrado VR6 - standard fitment is 205/50/15's V rated. Black Circles wanted something ridiculous like £75 a tyre and I just checked Camskill and they're £120 for a pair, posted.

My local tyre place is doing them for that price fitted (Britannia Tyres in Coventry). Lesson learned - the internet isn't always cheaper.

I recently found kwikfit to be cheaper than both blackcircles.com and camskill.

(National tyres too).

I must say that I've found the manager at my local National Tyres is quite happy to negotiate on price if you prompt him, he's given me some good prices in the past.

When I was after the Federal RSR they couldn't help.

I've used them numerous times.

You might beat their price very slightly from time to time, but their professionalism and the convenience of them coming to you makes them worth more IMO.

I have not yet bettered them.

I see you are in Yorkshire.

Get some quotes from all of the above.

Then if you have one nearby, call Alba Tyres. Great guys and very reasonable, will get close to the price if not match it. No link to them, just used several of their branches and always been happy. Good for MOT as well...

Camskill are great (prices and service), but quite limited availability (and terrible website!).
If they do have what you are after, almost guaranteed to be cheapest so worth checking them first.

also try

mytyres.co.uk
blackcircles.com
oponeo.co.uk

But they seemingly use morons to do their deliveries, who cannot follow simple instructions.

Never, ever again.

A different view.

I would always buy tyres and have them fitted at the same place. That way if you have any issues you know for sure who needs to sort them out. I wouldn't buy tyres online and will be surprised if the price is significantly better than shopping around at real-world tyre places.
