    www.mytyres.co.uk have a look at federals, find out where the fitting place is and ring them direct for there best price.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

  • Blackcircles are on Quidco too at 5%.

    Used Mytyres in the past and have been very pleased with service and price.

    I have found that the small idepedant tyre places are cheaper than online tyre sales. By the time you have paid for the tyre and delivery, then had them fitted locally, the costs equal out.
    Go to a couple of local places for prices.
    Alternatively you can try breakers yards/Ebay/Local papers for part worn tyres.
    I recently got four good tyres, all good makes, on wheels, with four wheel trims for £35.
    I sold my old set, with two OKish tyres, two that were just legal, and the trims on Ebay for £20.

    I cannot praise etyres enough! I've used them twice now and they've been an excellent service both times, actually I should put them on the 5* board!

    Better than Kwikfit (only used them as they are just up the road from my house) who managed to lose my locking wheel nut key!! :mad: :mad: :mad: So the chap from etyres had to drill the locking wheel nut out of the one he had to change, but then very kindly did all the others so I wouldn't stuffed if I had to change to the spare at any time, and he did that extra for free :T :T Oh and all that was done while my car was at work :)

    If you live near Birmingham try these people:
    http://www.tyreworlduk.com/indexreal.htm

    They import part worn tyres from Germany, where you have to have two sets, one for summer and one for winter. This means there are a lot of good part worn performance tyres with lots of,life left in them.
    They sell named performance tyres for £25-£50 each, fitted. New performance tyres for my bosses car cost him £165 each new, he was kicking himself when I told him!

    "They import part worn tyres from Germany"

    Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole - if they are so good why don't Germans buy them? If you need two sets you fit summers, remove them in winter then next summer put them back on.

    In reality most Germans have two sets of complete wheels - alloys for summer with summer tyres, steel for winter with winter tyres fitted.

    Avoid any sort of part worn tyre.

    why does it have to be off the internet? Have you considered just ringing up some local tyre dealers? I used ATS Euromaster recently and they were very competetive.

    None of the companies like etyres cover up here. When I need a tyre I just walk in to the local independant tyre shop with a wad of cash. No messing about, decent prices, don't need to pre book anything
