More competition the better imo.

Not quite sure how Tesco selling everything increases competition.

For my tyres, 205/55/R16 V the prices are exactly the same between blackcircles and Tesco Tyres.

They have just implemented the blackcircles system right on top, no discounts on mine so far.

Some GT something or others - same price
Pirelli P6000 - same price
Toyo Proxies - same price

Tesco have some missing too, no Bridgestones for instance, Kumho missing, Falken missing, Uniroal missing, Avon, Continental



Nothing to improve the market (except clubcard points and extras for Tesco Credit Card)

Better deals elsewhere I would think.

Not a big enough mark up for Tesco, I would guess?
