Offers on tyres?

Maybeanotherday

I need 4 tyres for a fiat panda...I have looked at part worn but have finance outstanding for another 2years so Im thinking I'd be better off with new?
Any ideas?:D

Yes, go to "blackcircles", Google it.
Do not use part worn tyres, they have been discarded for a reason.

Nothing wrong with Partworns... providing they are from the right sources..... Most come from Germany as theie standards are far higher and there is nothing wrong with them accept they're at the stage where they dont meet their requirements... All the decent partworn outlets will pressure test aswell before selling and will point out any puncture repairs... Premium Pukka straight stuff is so cheap in Germany there is really no excuse to sell !!!! supplied from over here....

Obviously then theres the dodgy outlets that will sell anything with legal tread...and dodgy repairs even towards the sidewalls... I've seen all sorts being sort after to sell as part worns.

Surely in your cars size the saving with part worns would be limited.

I have fitted part worns in the past, sometimes when selling a car on and the tyres are on their last legs. And years ago when I had an Omega TD with Elite wheels, my local tyre bloke had a load of top spec Michelins, at a 1/5 of new price and they had a good 5mm left minimum, this made them a good buy.

I would personally fit a set of matched new tyres, Michelins are good, my parents had them for years on Ren 5, Ren 12, Ren 14 and on their current Pug 207, they last well, grip well and I think they are good value.

Though any known brand tyre will serve you well, though I would avoid the imported chinese/turkish and possible some of the unknown Eastern European tyres.

As mentioned a lot of people are happy with blackcircles but I personally use Elite Direct in Rainham.

Blackcircles are good, you can order on line and get fitted locally.
Prices are usually very competitive, occasionally they can be bettered if you shop around, but not often.
We had a couple of Kumho's off them recently, they seem very good, and get good reports.

Costco currently have their 20% off offer on at the moment, however it only applies to Michelins.

Try camskill too - from my experience cheaper than blackcircles.

Event tyres and etyres are two companies I am well satisfied with.

They will both fit at home or your place of work.

Was the KwikFit quote for exactly the same thing, and does it include fitting and balancing?
