Sounds good, im just about to order a couple, where's best to get them fitted? Is it just a case of taking them down to Kwit Fit or the like?

Cheers

They didn't wrap my Goodyear F1's up in bubble wrap either , but 5000 miles later they're still keeping me on the road so I suspect they're none the worse off for it!

At the time, they were by far the cheapest, delivery within a couple of days (tyres were out of stock), didn't take my money till tyres were in my possesion, top service all round really.

Good service from them, and it's nice to see they don't rip us Islanders off with delivery charges like some other tyre suppliers. Unfortunately they don't come much cheaper than my local Etyres supplier once shipping and fitting at £10 per wheel has been paid,(£55.75 vs £57 per tyre for 195/50/15 Eagle F1s) and Etyres will come and fit the tyres at work. Worth the extra £1.25 not to have to with the garage and have it done IMO.

In my experience Kwitfit wont do it...

but most other large tyre places or small independants have no problem in doing it for you.

another 10/10 from me.

The Bridgestone S02s they recently sent me were bounced all around the van, and then they did this....

Bought a set of PS2s recently, and a few Evo parts from them over the last year, always received them on time and had nice helpful replies whenever I asked questions. Good prices too!

Just bought a set of Toyo T1Rs for the Evo at £294 delivered.
Ordered 10am last Tuesday, arrived 10am the next day.

Apparently Camskill import tyres for Toyo which probably explains the good prices on that brand

Yep, spot on company!
Delivered the next day and excellent prices - can't complain at all.

... and GaryST220, you can pay a surcharge to have each tyre specifically hand wrapped in a heavy gauge, reinforced bubble wrap - apparently they used to box them but had trouble with the cardboard chaffing important areas of the tyre, plus it got wet and again had an adverse effect!

Going thru craners at 100 clicks is nothing compared to the damage white van man can do!

To be honest, I'd be more worried about the tyres being sat on a shelf for years - nothing worse than old unused rubber! wink But this is a serious issue with small outlets, rubber does go off, and despite brand new tread, old tyres can be lethal - and I speak from first hand experience. Always check your tyres when they arrive - you can usually work out the year they were made.
