    Out of that lot, I'd be going for the Avons, £43 H or £38 T speed rated depending on your car's requirements.

    Thanks. They seem cheaper than other online tyre shops. Presumably they are decent enough to deal with. Will inquire locally about fitting and balancing charges. Other websites like Blackcircles.com offer fitting, obviously at price but at least they sort delivery to garage etc.

    Thanks.

    I bought car 6 years ago. I changed two tyres about 3 years ago. So other two are at least 6 years old. So will probably replace two to go with other two replaced 3 years ago.

    Ta

    That would be a good option to replace two I always prefer to replace tyres in pairs

    Camskill are a good company and delivery is quick but look to add around £20.00 for fit and balance for a pair

    Have a look at asda tyres they sometimes come up with a good price or if you are near to and can get a card for Costco then see what they have to offer

    If you have a tyre shop nearby that will fit a loose tyre for you then give Oponeo a try.

    Heard about them on here.

    I bought 2tyres from them last week.

    245/45/19 £127 each for a mid range Hankook Evo2 K117.

    Mytyres price £181

    Blackcircles price £189

    Took four days to arrive

    And i paid a local tyre shop £15 a side to fit and balance.

    So £142 a side.

    Had a quick look on Oponeo and they don't list the very good Dunlop BluResponse tyre in your size which is a shame as it out performs the very good Michelin Energy +

    Hankook Kinergy Eco K425 is well priced. £47 inc delivery but you need to get them fitted.



    Had them on the Clio for a good while and they were quiet and gripped well.

    As did the Avon ZV3 but again they were not on Oponeo.

    Continental Contacts wore quickly on both shoulders so would not recommend.

    Cheapest tyre i would go for would be Nexen CP661 at £38. They are a lot better than the Chinese tyres and are from S Korea.

    Nexen are fitted to some Kia/Hyundai cars as original fitment apparently.

    Nexen also have their own budget range called Roadstone.


    I would change tyres as an axle set as a minimum.

    Some say put the new ones in the rear but i personally don't.

    Costco refuse to fit new tyres to the front.

    Except they do if you car has different sizes front and rear. Make of that what you will.

    Before buying my tyres last week i compared with Camskill and Oponeo were cheaper by £5/6 and they also charge extra for delivery which is not apparent until you go to check out.

    Oponeo have some tyres for 48delivery at a few quid more.

    All prices include delivery though.

    Have your tyres checked by a good, recommended, local tyre fitter. Cracks and marks on sidewalls very rarely have anything to do with the true condition of a tyre and are very often cosmetic deterioration, not a tyre going bad.
