Cheapest Tyres

Goldspanners will (probably) swear by the federal S595's and i'll highly recommend the ToyoT1R's.

Camskills below are usually unbeatable on price, maybe you could try a local independent tyre suppier to see if they could come somewhere close to their prices (bearing in mind that someone will have to remove, refit, balance etc so don't expect a price match).

Alternatively if you are on friendly terms with a tyre place you could buy from someone and get them fitted as a separate transaction (reckon on £10 to 15 per tyre)

Get out to some of your small independant fitters - IME, they will nearly always beat the big-name competition for a decent tyre.

Very few will have an online presence either IME.

Look for one with a line of taxis outside, or ask a taxi driver - they get through tyres at a frightening rate and will always know the cheapest place.

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

Blackcircles or mytyres are good sites

I agree, cheap tyres means trouble.

Kumho's are good tyres for the price

You could pay a very high price for saving a few quid on cheap rubber.

Think about it this way, its likely that the equivalent of the size of 4 fag packets of rubber is in contact with the road at any one time that aint a lot of rubber, get the best you can afford.

But rhere will always be a compromise between longevity and road holding ability.

anyone know good place to get michilin tyre cheap?

had my last set price matched to costo prices at nationwide, got a buldge in rear left tyre, 5mm of tread left, thought no worries bout the warranty for £5..

didn't realise it was 50% off full price (£188 now, was £140 at the time of fitting) plus fitting + disposal, infact it costs me £2 more than tyretraders.com which i recently found, seem to be on average cheaper than mytyres and blackcircles...

but yea, i agree with the majority, tyres are the important, i've bought budget or cheaper brands only twice, and the last time (to save money), i ended up crashing the car after 3 weeks as braking in the wet was very poor! of course one may argue that as i was always used to better tyres prahaps i would be more used to driving that way and someone who's always had budget tyres wouldn't of crashed ?
