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

    They will both fit at home or your place of work.
    etyres cheapest £159.20 on unkown brand they provide whatever they have in stock in the budjet range.
    Event= sava tyres £172

    Try camskill too - from my experience cheaper than blackcircles.

    What size are they quoting for?
    Camskill are delivery only, add about £40 or so for local fitting.

    If it is a standard Panda then they are not exactly well known for their grip with their tall suspension and skinny wheels. I would be wanted to get the best tyres as possible.

    Tyres are a matter of life or death, it is one area it is not worth saving money on.

    I've used no one but Camskill for the past three years - great service and the best prices. Fitting can be done by any garage. Don't pay more than £10 a corner including disposal and valves.

    If you're looking for a good value tyre, I can recommend Toyo - a top quality Japanese-made brand (with all that implies in terms of superior quality) at the price of tyres from heaven knows where. You'll find a lot of positive user testimony for Toyo both here and on motoring forums generally.

    Kumho are another decent brand too although I don't think they are as cheap as they used to be. Kumho isn't a budget brand but were always cheaper than the big players in this country due to brand image.
  • There are some Avon winter tyres, are these no good for all year round use? thanks

    Toyo press release. 21 October, 2010

    As part of its long-term global plan, the Company is currently at work on the third phase expansion of the Toyo Tire North America Manufacturing Inc. facility in the United States, and has commenced construction of a China tire manufacturing plant at Toyo Tires Zhangjiagang Co., Ltd.
    Through this acquisition of Silverstone, the Company is now positioned to make a full-scale entry into the fast-growing Southeast Asia market.

    The Company plans to commence production of TOYO and NITTO brand tires at this new subsidiary as soon as practicable, while building an export distribution network centered on Asia.

    Company Name: Silverstone Berhad
    Head Office: LEVEL 14, Office Tower, No. 1 Jalan Nagasari (off Jalan Raja Chulan), 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    So Toyo tyres could be chinese, or malaysian produced soon.

    You need to find a fitter - mine charges £6 per tyre.

    Our local tyre fitters were £20 a tyre less than Blackcircles, so they're not always the cheapest.
