    I usually go to my local branch of National Tyres and Autocare:

    They are usually competetive.

    Kwik Fit has 15% off Continental when you buy 2 or 25% off if you buy 4.

    Have a look on their website to get a quote first and then take it into the garage - think this works out cheaper than driving straight in and paying the local branch's price. Quote for my car was just over £100 for 2 Continental ContiEcoContact3 tyres - check the size of your tyres first - it's on the side of them (like 175/65 R14).

    The net is the way to go with tyres.

    I used http://www.mytyres.co.uk towards the end of last year, and they were around half the price of national for (biggish) tyres for my Almera Tino. The car was being serviced at the time so I just got the guy to fit them - total cost for tyre and fitting was just under £50, and the cheapest local quote I could find was about £90.

    But I've since used http://www.etyres.co.uk just last month. Needed 2 fronts for the same car - they were £106 total for decent dunlops, and that included coming to my work and fitting them in the car park! To have them fitted at a Kwik Fit centre was going to be about £160.

    Not sure what the discount is likely to be for your go-kart tyres ;) but they are definitely worth a look - takes few seconds to get a price if you have your tyre sizes.

    Don't rule out ebay. We got a set of 4 tyres for my wife's car from ebay at quite a bit less than the best price from mytyres et al.

    They were supplied by https://www.tyresonline.net - they aren't currently offering anything on ebay but they are on their own website. The tyres were delivered in around 2 days and we just had to get them fitted. Mytyres list places that will fit for you.

    I have previously used etyres and they are fine, with the big benefit of coming to fit wherever you like.

    I'd check all of the websites above if I were you - I think the best will really depend on your car and whether you want a decent brand or are happy to go with "budget". For my car, etyres and blackcircles are about the same (including fitting) but etyres have a huge advantage by fitting the tyres wherever you like.

    I found e-tyres slightly cheaper than blackcircles. They are also more convenient as they will come to your home or work, they will even return after filtting to reset tracking if you feel it is has gone off :T

    If you are after michelins Costco wipe the lot of them...by a mile!! :T :T
