National Tyres offer - CON

vikingaero

I get an email from National Tyres with their offers. If you click through the link in the email to buy tyres and compare the cost by going direct through their site, sometimes the offers are cack and you may as well buy from the website.

I'm not suggesting buying them from National, I just don't see why the previous poster was getting confused.

I get mine online and have a mate fit them, last set were from Pneus Online, Camskill before that.

I was just pointing out that the OP had obviously used the National website when he could have got the same tyres from the same company for less, even cheaper using the 5% codes kicking about and TopCashBack, with no cheap gimmick offers.

Any ideas how long the clubard points take to appear on your clubcard statement. I got 4 tyres last month and got triple points but nothing showing up yet.

It took about a full month.

Where can I get Korean-made tyres for £35 each?

Why would you specifically seek out Korean brands? I don't think they are exactly setting the benchmark for anything. Hankook are Korean - mid range kind of thing.

The Chinese have the cheap and cheerful market cornered. You want these if you want cheap - Evergreen, Chen Sheng or whatever they are etc...

13 inch wheels?! Are these for a golf buggy?

Nope, 1974 Daf 66 Marathon coupe.

13 inch used to be by far the most popular wheel size until around the '90s when makers started fitting rubber bands instead of tyres. Our mid 90s Pug estate has 14" wheels, which were the normal "big car" size, but uses sporty low profile (175/70 or 185/65) tyres

Reminds me of my local pizza place. BOGOF is £12 but if you only want one it's £7.50

Actually I've just looked on the site and can't understand why you are getting confused.

I put in 205/55/16 and this came up (I've edited the two together so you can see the drop down and text).

maybe it's just me being stupid , but i genuinely thought buy one get one free meant that, e.g pay for one get one free
67.50 per tyre x2= 135 so i thought buying 2 at full price (135) would entitle me to two free tyres, not buy 2 then pay 95 pounds for the "free" ones
the quote for the "bogof" came from the branch manager not the mutlibuy drop down list

Forget about National - not worth bothering with. They have had these 'offers' for years.

Best prices are to be had online.

Blackcircles all the way - no hassle - pick your tyres, your closest fitting shop, book your time, turn up, cheapest price, job done.
