Tyres

Is there anywhere online that I can buy tyres?

Someone I know has the faciltiy to fit tyres and has offered to fit them for me if I supply the tyres, of course.

Or I can nip into a 'tyre-shop' and buy them, but I don't know if these exist.

Do you think these would be much cheaper than going into Kwik Fit/budget etc and buying and fitting them there?

Thanks!

I use blackcircles.com

You pay online and pick a local fitter.

I use https://www.eTyres.co.uk and they will come out and fit them at your home/work the next day.

that seems like a good site with decent prices

Falken Sincera SN 807
Enduro 806
Toyo 330
Hankook K 702
Firestone F590
Pirelli P3000
Kumho 758
Goodyear GT2
Kleber Viaxer
Interstate Touring IST
Sportiva G 80
Bridgestone B391

There's only an £8 difference between the cheapest and most expensive tyre out of the twelve I have copied above.

I have ran 4 Pirelli P3000s and only got about 8.5/9k on the front tyres and they weren't the cheapest option from the place I got them last time.

I'm not sure if the Bridgestones are the best, they are the most expensive though.

Can anyone assist?

I get all my tyre from M&M : http://www.mmtyre-exhausts.co.uk/
I get free fitting, valve and balancing. I don't know if they post them though, but I don't see why not.

I (and my family and friends) have used them 5 times.

Good service and great prices. Includes fitting/balance/new valve.

Had them come to my office and home. I dont think I will ever wait at a tyre garage ever again. So convienent. And actually cheaper. They were the only ones I found that gave a discount on buying more than one tyre.

I recommended them to one family member who got the price then rang his 'normal' tyre place and they matched the price. So he went for the 'normal' option. Still had to go there and wait though.

You order and pay for online great prices and fitted at National Tyres & Autocare sites.

I have recently used the above and found that for well known brands they are extremely competitive and you pick a local fitter to your home to fit the tyres, if you want them fitting. They quote 2 prices, one fully fitted and one not fitted.

I then checked https://www.kwikfit.co.uk and they had an offer of 20% off two tyres and 30% off 4 tyres on the big names, Pirelli, Michelin etc; have a look at both web sites and compare, depending on the tyres that you want.

Michelin cost more and are supposed to last upto 25% longer, hence why they are more expensive but personal preference and the way you drive and check that you are running with correct tyre pressures also have a lot to do with tyre wear.

Good luck

PS: Kwikfit internet prices are normally much cheaper than ringing them for a price...when I rang to check they had the tyre/s in stock and told them I had an internet price, they came back with a slightly cheaper price than the one I had been quoted on the internet? That's happened to me twice and a friend of mine had exactly the same experience.

I got a Kwik Fit price promise/match against e-tyres for four dunlops on my old car (which I still have).

I've done around 10,000 miles over the last 18 months and they're still ok - 4mm on front and 5mm on rear. Having said that I don't brake and accelerate too quickly so that would prolong the tyres.

How do they balance the wheels when they come to your home?
