    Thanks everyone :)



    Strangely I had checked on there, but a few of the sites didn't look safe, so thought I would ask on here ;).
    Anyones in particular? Camskills, mytyres, oponeo, tyre-shopper, blackcircles are all perfectly safe and tend to be the cheapest online tyre sites around, although not so much blackcircles these days.

    Mytyres are a good price, but only on some of their products.

    Camskill everytime.

    I've never heard of Camskill. But then, they've never heard of me. Useful intel', and I shall add them to my list for next time.

    I've used Mytyres and Camskill without any problems.

    Out of interest - what are other people paying their local tyre place for fitting?

    Last time I came to have some fitted the best price I could find ringing around a couple of places was £15/tyre - 17" onto alloys including new valve and disposal of old. In retrospect Blackcircles fully fitted would have been slightly cheaper.

    I've used My Tyres in the past, and found them good. I ordered some tyres from there that were a size Kwik fit didn't have in stock, and said they couldn't get for ages. Got them next day from My Tyres, and Kwik Fit charged £10 per wheel to fit them when the manager was away.

    Since then I found a local tyre place who said they would fit tyres at £10 per wheel, but also said they would be cheaper if they supplied them as they get a discount when bulk ordering.
  • Blackcircles is the best in my experience. I went through topcashback and got a cash back as well!!

    Do not forget that ordering from Europe can be cheaper.

    I can recommend http://www.oponeo.co.uk/.

    UK site but admin is in Poland. I ordered my Goodyear Ultragrip 8 winter tyres from them back in the summer and they arrived in 2 days at a huge saving .

    Camskill price now is £240 for 4, I paid £180 !

    Found them a minute ago, and thought something must be wrong, PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 are £110, other places are £130/£140 each!

    Think I know where I'll be going once I need some!

    Camskill are excellent. They had a problem with some recon radiators they had in stock for wifeys FTO - whoever made them must have been blind. After getting a replacement for the second which was as bad as the first and then them finding out the entire batch was like that they sorted the problem by going to Mitsubishi and sending out a brand new genuine mftr one at no extra cost. Reckon they lost £150 on that deal.
