Do you Need new tyres?

If you don't mind ringing around local tyre fitters yourself for a price, then Camskill are usually hard to beat.

I'm about to order a set of winters - and BlackCircles don't even list any in the size I'm after. Camskill have one decent brand in stock, for less than MyTyres want for the cheapest of rubbish. PneusOnline are giving me a good choice, at about half way between MyTyres and Camskill's prices.

Time to ring around a few local places, see what they can do for me.

I've used Camskill previously but they appear to be slipping on price & stock levels as they were either more expensive or OOS on what I needed recently.

Oponeo had Nokian WR winter tyres as cheap as budgets from the others in my size a couple of weeks ago.

Have used them before but they were competitive back then. Not now, on my tyres at least.

You can pick which garage you use (from their list of course) so try and pick one you've at least some direct/indirect experience with or you might end up with the happy Harrys from daveyjp's place.

Incidentally I always wondered what the fitting garage makes on the deal. Probably not a lot.

I had a choice of fitters close by, this one appeared to have good reviews. I understand they get £2 a tyre.

i know he is right the garage only gets paid to fit that tyre to the vehicle, when they came into our garage the rate was about £8/£9 each tyre. all extras like that you charged for.

there is no money in tyres at our place we earn between £10-£15 on each tyre oo the most common sizes for example 205/55R16.
we would rather do brakes & servicing we earn more out of them.
