Anyone recommend either a good value tyre place or a good web site where they deliver to a local tyre place?

Blackcircles still worth using?

Halfords?

Need 2 front for a ‘15 slk. 225 40 r18 I believe.

Thanks

I have used Black circles for the last 10 years or so, just select a place you trust. My last few have been at an ATS fitter place (I also checked their own prices). The ATS is near other places to pass time around, and it is also very clean and tidy, so no loose screws or nails around, unlike some sites

i use blackcircles, then get them fitted by an outlet up the road from me.

Never had any issues. watch for offerrs, and discounts codes.

Camskills might be a bit cheaper but i've never found them to be cheaper overall, once you factor in the faff of getting them to the fitter and then fitting and balancing costs.

I have used Black Circles several times, sometimes at a garage that I choose from a list, sometimes fitted on my drive.

Cheers all, blackcircles still good then by the sound.

Having said that Halfords have Goodyear eagles for £110. Not sure if that’s fitted tho.

I did get a set of Continentals from Halfords on my SLK55 a couple of years ago. Halfords surprisingly were very closely priced to Black Circles back then.

I then got their member subscription (I paid £50, which covers the next MOT, £10 gift voucher and extra 5% off the price).

So try Halfords if they are still offering 10% off two premium tyres and then get the member subscription.

I got my last set from Demon Tweeks. They were cheaper than Black Circles for the same tyre, and delivered next day.

Last time I tried to use blackcircles the order kept being rejected by the fitting garage, no idea why. Tried 3 times, and gave up. Just went direct to the garage. I won't be using blackcircles again.

Now I just get tyres direct from camskill, tyres online or demontweeks. And then take them to my local garage fir fitting. Usually works out cheaper and I get exactly the tyre I want, rather than what a garage can get hold of.

One thing i would add is that theres not one retailer will be cheapest for all tyres.

So i'd probably check against all people have come up with here.

Do check for available discount codes too, particularly for blackcircles.

I have the "Honey" extension added to chrome, so it tries all know discount codes at checkout. Theres a hotukdeals extension that does the same.
