e-tyres

Recently needed to replace 2 tyres on car and having read various posts on MSE decided to give e-tyres a go. They were absolutely first class and their prices were better than most of the usual tyre garages. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Turned up on time and the fitter was really helpful .
Certainly beats waiting around for hours in a garage.

    Hi Rando

    As I need two new tyres which are expensive ...I'm interested in whether e-tyres re- balanced after fitting and was that included in the price ?

    Important as I don't want un-even ware !

    Cheers

    I'm also thinking of using them but to answer the qustion it does say on their site "Prices include our mobile fitting, new valve, electronic balancing & environmental tyre disposal"

    I'd been wanting to try e-tyres...

    I've emailed them a query twice now, but no replies... I was wondering if there was anyone there.

    What's speed rating mean?
    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)

    Yes they will do this no problem. I used them for 1st time recently, cheapest I could find and unbeatable service.
    I have since then found somewhere even cheaper for tyres...Costco. A good bit cheaper too, wish I had known at time.

    yes my daughter used them and was very happy with them, they arrived a few days earlier than they said and a local garage took eight pounds per tyre to fit them also much cheaper buying them online than locally

    I used e-tyres last year for some unusual size tyres. They had them with me the day after I booked and were fitted in an hour. Fantastic service and I'll certainly be using them again!

    As a side note, their prices are very good; I went to National and the wanted to charge me £60 a corner for their cheepo tyres, but e-tyres charged me less for Firestones! Brillient!
  • Thanks everyone - my dad needs some new tyres (at least 2 including spare) so I'll let him know about all the places mentioned in this thread!

    speed rating is the maximum speed the tyres can handle.
