Buying Car Tyres on Ebay

DiskoNick

Has anyone bought tyres off EBay before? I've recently been looking for a new set and found some amazing low price clearance tyres from ValueTyres.co.uk . I've found a number of positive reviews off their normal trading site elsewhere on the forum, but nothing for the ebay shop.

The prices seem great, but has anyone had any previous with Ebay tyres?

Never used them but have just compared them to my favourite, Blackcircles, and looking at a Bridestone Potenza RE050 for example....

Valuetyres £212.63

Blackcircles £177.68

For 2 tyres, delivered.

Their ebay items seem good value, cheaper than their website, feedback looks more or less ok too.

If you think their prices are great you need to look further than the end of your nose

Ask them how old they are, they may be old tyres past there date, i think they should be under 3yrs old IIRC

I have in the past, but it was a bricks and mortar garage selling tyres through eBay and fitting via their garage.
They were really good actually but obviously after making the discovery we always went direct to them and they did a decent discount.

Thanks for the majority of responses, most of them have been very helpful. Thank you. I have checked the dates on the Nexen Tyres and their only 2 years old. Although they have said they do sell older stock, but clearly mark this on the listing to make the customer aware. I'm quite impressed though, as I'll be saving at least £10-£15 per tyre compared to other mid range brands offered on the main stream sites. I'll let you all know how delivery goes!

Thanks
