Just wondered if any of you have bought tyres from the above and, what your experience was like.

I am a bit confused about who is actually supplying the tyres - is it the local tyre centre who put them on, or is it Blackcircles?

So you just pay in full online, go to your local tyre centre at the allotted time and they fit exactly what you have ordered. It just sounds so incredibly simple - almost to good to be true - like they are undercutting the local tyre people.

Yes, that's how it happens.

Used them problem free twice and will use them again.

^This.

I've bought tyres from them and had them fitted locally without problems. I've also never read a negative report about them on this forum. One thing to consider is that if you want wheels swapped front to rear then the fitter will likely charge extra for this. So if you do want them to I'd phone a couple of places you are considering getting the tyres fitted to ask what they'd charge.

You can get a small amount of cashback here:

Where else have you looked? One place worth checking is here:

There are many more alternatives as well but I'll let Google do the work...

I've used them plenty of times, no problems at all. Although I found this time that their prices have crept up a fair bit. I used etryes this time instead.

But not blackcircle employees so that part is irrelevant unless the OP has the option of using the same fitters.

I think Tesco now own Blackcircles ?

There are quite a few different company's offering the same sort of service so worth checking prices at them all as it can vary widely

Yes used them before but i fit my own.

mytyres.co.uk Find these cheaper and a very good quick service they come from Germany.

Trust me they're not. More often than not if you have a good, local independent they can often beat the blackcircles price.

I have used them in the past but like another poster above, I notice their prices have crept up and discount codes to use online are virtually non-existent now. I got some Toyo's fitted using blackcircles much cheaper and at the same tyre fitting place who quoted me about 20% more if I went straight to them; they told me they could not match the blackcircles price. This time round I am thinking of using F1 as they are cheaper than blackcircles.
