I'm after a couple of new or decent part worn tyres for the Vectra Estate (215/55/16)

Has any body used an on line tyre company or one who act as brokers and who are linked to tyre fitting places around the country?

I am in the WF9 area so Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster are all easy reach if there is a local company that is reasonably priced.

Juts looking for saving some £££'s really, and also trying to find reputability and experience.

    I've used event mobile tyres for the last few changes on my car - always found them very good on price and excellent on service as well.
    Just need to check they covers your area, as it's a mobile fitting service.

    Used Blackcircles successfully - ended up in a little known part of town not far from us, but a place I'd never have considered. Great service from a pleasant local lad. Tyres ending their natural now, given no trouble, and when the time comes will have no hesitation in using Blackcircles again. For my (slightly) special tyres a good saving.

    I've used Mytyres and Camskill, both without any problems.

    That said, before ordering I'd ring around and make sure that you have a local place lined up to fit them and get an idea of their charge - next time I might try Blackcircles as my local fitting place wanted £15/tyre to fit which pushed things in Blackcircles favour.
  • Cheers, Luckily I found a place fairly close to me who will fit me two tyres for under £100 ;)

    G T Tyres & Exhausts if anyone is interested!

    My local tyre place is cheaper than the online ones.

    Black circles and etyres etc. So get the local papers and yellow pages etc and get phoning.

    I agree. The independent next door to my work was cheaper than the online companies.


    Also my local main dealer matched the blackcircles price on a previous occasion.

    Find a good local independent, often the place all the Taxi drivers go......
