Can anyone point me in the right way.

Thanks

    Cheapest will be a scrap yard. But do you want to take that chance?

    But I buy from mytyres or blackcircles.:-

    http://www.mytyres.co.uk/

    The older I get the more I am willing to pay for decent tyres :)

    PS Don't skimp on tyres!!

    Blackcircles, etyres and mytyres are all good. Maybe ask you local fitter to price match them?

    But please don't skimp too much - they are the piece of the car that keeps you safe on the road :)

    Straight through the wall and down the grass bank into the river, with those cheap tyres.

    There are some more sites listed here.

    As has been mentioned already, cheap tyres may save you some cash now but it's not going to be much of a saving if you have poorer grip as a result and have an RTA.

    It's a mystery to me why people buy budget brands when even premium brands cost pennies compared to the cost of filling your tank over the lifespan of the tyres.

    Please dont buy cheap and nasty tyres, get cheap decent brand tyres like Avon, Bridgestone, Dunlop...

    Blackcircles or mytyres are good sites

    dont think like that, buy the most expensive, best quality you can.
    i got 30,000 miles out my last set
    Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
    current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
    Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)

    new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,000

    That means they would last me 5 year at the mileage I do!

  • cheap (quality) tyres are a false economy in my opinion
