Buying Winter Tyres From Germany?

Will these attract any kind of tax or import duty charges?

Thanks!

    No. There are no import duties within the EU.

    PS
    Why would you want to import tyres from Germany? They are not that much cheaper in Germany to make it worthwhile, IMHO.

    The ones I have found are about £45 each cheaper than their equivalent in the UK even taking into account postage costs, so maybe do a bit more research.

    Really? Even compared to Camskill?

    Now I'm interested - what's the www link?

    Most of the ones I have came from germany, and they were a similar price to camskill, so I'd be interested in the one you've found as well.
  • Mytyres special?...always worth keeping an eye on their site when you know you'll need some in the near future, often unbeatable but that price sometimes only lasts a day or two.

    If its not Mytyres i too would like to know of any alternatives.
