ASDA Tyres

Options
Anyone used them?

They are coming out cheapest for budget tyres for size 185/60R15 84H out of all the online tyre places I've checked.

Only thing I'm skeptical about is rocking up at the fitting partner garage and finding out they do them cheaper. :p

    Ring the fitting place and ask them.

    Problem is if you're getting a budget brand unspecified tyre from asda you won't know what it until you turn up at the garage.

    Having looked at both asda and blackcircles they come in at 35-36 quid. For 50 odd I'd buy a branded mid range tyre.

    ASDA Tyres states it is a Sailun Atrezzo SH-402.

    Don't know what brand the garage uses for it's own tyre sales but a budget tyre is a budget tyre.

    Price wise I'd agree with you quality is another matter.

    Only reviews I can find are from Australia .

    Mention them being rubbish in the wet ..So should be fine in the UK as we hardly ever get any rain .....

    I have fitted budgets once and took mine off after 3 months and put reduced price decent tyres on instead.

    Anything is better than what I have at the moment, every corner is a different tyre. 2 x random budgets, 1 x part-worn budget, and an old continental which I think originally came off the spare (previous owner was a right bodger).

    Both fronts are getting low, still legal but thinning out on the edges. Rears are about 4mm. I'll get one of the old tyres put onto the spare (whichever is in best condition) as the spare is bald.

    Maybe four mid range ones are the way to go.

    These look better as far as reviews go .

    Black circles quality choice


    I use the Toyo's that are a bit more ..But I think the benefit well justifies the extra cost.

    Alibaba supply tyres to the likes of ASDA in 20ft container loads (minimum order) for around $10 each (less than £7.00)

    There is plenty profit to be made in selling cheapo 'sub-budget' tyres - but some things in life can be too cheap.

    As long as there are people to whom the quality comes at the bottom of their purchase check list and price is at the top - we will sellers of rubbish.

    I dont think so

    I had ambassadors on once.....zero grip in the wet.

    I would pay a bit more and use mid range then you can get a few quotes
