Cheapest tyre supplier... Oponeo?

Gloomendoom

I'm looking for some new tyres for Mrs G's SUV. I've done a few internet searches and Oponeo seems to be the cheapest delivered.

First question. Are Oponeo reliable?

Second question. Have I missed anyone cheaper?

Can recommend tyreleader.co.uk, great prices, delivered within 2-3 days from Germany - bought 2 sets of winter tyres this year from them and they were way cheaper than anyone else, especially UK based companies. i would have been happy to buy or order local, but the prices and service were simply not comparable to tyreleader and other european based companies.

It is a bit more awkward when things go wrong though - although a credit card purchase will still cover you under S75.

That's what worries me about Oponeo. Aren't they based in Outer Mongolia or somewhere?

Its only awkward as tyreleader don't have anEnglish speaking admin department and their email response isn't always great. Their delivery company is DPD, who are excellent in our area and I have had great service from them and will use again. I did see one or two reviews where things had gone wrong - tyres wrong size or similar - and getting it corrected was a pain, but there were really only a few. For the massive savings on my tyres, it was worth it. Buy on credit card and you are covered, anyway.

I think oponeo is a German based company as well.

Oponeo are Polish. Very reliable. I've used them umpteen times. I think the UK delivery is handled by DPD.

Have personally used Oponeo, Tyreleader, Mytyres, Camskills, Tyremen more than once each, and have never had a moments problem with any of them.

When comparing remember that Camskills charge £2.99 delivery per tyre, the rest are IIRC free del.

Camskills often cheapest, but not such a large range, if in stock they are a day or two faster delivery, but the longest i've had to wait is a week from any of them.

Using Tyreleader for the first time at the moment as they were a fiver a corner (inc delivery) cheaper than Camskill and a couple of quid cheaper than others i checked.

DPD tracking seems to have them stuck in Holland somewhere just now.

Check your local independant tyre place. When you add fitting it maybe just as cheap as ordering online.

Many small retailers will price match if you ask nicely.

The car is going in for a full set of wheels to be swapped under warranty. As the tyres on it are getting low on tread, I thought it a good opportunity to switch tyres at the same time.

Like G&S (above) I've used several mail order suppliers and never had a problem. These days I use tyreleader. I don't actually like buying from a German business rather than a domestic one, but the savings are significant.
