blackcircles quidco & double clubcard?

londonTiger

Was curious what was the best way to get a good deal on blackcircles.

Found a deal for a pair for £90. Should I do quidco 3% plus double clubcard points.

Im aware some companies only allow one offer so the quidco link might be invalidated by clubcard - not 100% sure.

Or there might be a massive 7% discount code which trumps all.

Your thoughts please.

Found camskill beat everyone.
Seen name a few times but only recently checked.

it depends if price is your only metric, if it was you'd be better off just buying part worns.

I find camskill do have very cheap tyres but they're chinese make. Blackcircles do not have a lot of these nanpang, linglong, dingdong tyres.

I priced up Uniroyal rainsports, none of the ones you listed.
Compared to price on there, part worns were false economy.

Camskill do sell cheap tyres but they also sell good branded tyres cheaply.

im finding it difficult to compare because they dont always sell the exact same model on both sites.

camskill might be marginally cheaper but blackcircles includes fitting and balancing.

Someones going to come here and say something daft like they can get fitting for £10 for all 4 tyres. But most chain garages will refuse to fit customer sourced tyres, and indies will charge 7-10 quid per tyre for fitting.

edit: can confirm, fitting tyres independently is expensive. There is a part worn tyre place that sells 5mm part worns continental for £30 each,

I went there and asked how much if I bring my own brand new tyres and get them fitted. He says £15 per wheel!

So the £10 saving by camskill is an absolute false enonomy, getting tyres and fitting at the same place gives you some bulk buying discounts, dealing with 2 parties for buying tyres and fitting tyres will give you a higher price for each seperate sale.

You've found a pair of 17s for £90 fitted, what are they?

Mine cost that each and I've got a common size.

What tyres were they anyway? Or is this just another one of your after the event threads?

Every thread he starts where people try to help, he knows better.
Why he asks I don't know.

Does anyone have experience of Blackcircles, "Value Choice"? What brand(s) are they? Must be some extremely sharp buying to get one of these fitted on mine for £72.49 instead of the £151.99 they are charging for the same size Pirelli.
