Before anyone says anything this isn't another which tyre thread. I know which ones I want this is a where to buy?

Like I have said I know which tyres I want can anyone recommend where to buy them. Whether that be online or in store.

Much appreciated.

 

Have a look at the popular tyre website like Camskill, Blackcircles, Tyreleader, Demon Tweeks, Etyres, Mytyres and am sure there's plenty of other ones to choose from.

 

Just got my AD08R from black circles.

I usually use event-tyres though, but they didn't do Yoko

 

Thanks.

I suppose my next question, from people experience, is it cheaper to buy tyres from say camskill and get them fitted elsewhere e.g. mobile tyre fitting or an all in one service like Etyres offer.

Cheers

 

Tyre fitting is £10/corner.

 

Tyre leader were cheapest by some margin when I got my goodyear's from them recently. Bear in mind that if the tyres are 2 different sizes as they are on our cars that they sometimes deliver them in 2 separate deliveries.
If you have a pistonheads account (free if you don't) go on this thread and message dopamine with the best price you can find and apparently he will beat it.

I've dealt with Asda Tyres ( ) several times over the last couple of years, and even after checking prices with the usual culprits such as Camskill, Black Circles etc.. Asda still came out the best deal.

Order online and they deliver by 9am next day to your local tyre centre, and arrange an appointment for you to have them fitted to suit you.
Your chosen garage then fit them for the quoted 'all-in' price.

The owner of my local garage and tyre depot, said I should always ask him for a quote first. However he couldn't get anywhere near the price of Asda. He was a bit sick as he said Asda only allow him a couple of quid for fitting 4 tyres.

Have a look Bruceski... see what you think.

 

Thanks guys.

Never even considered Asda Lew, i'll have a look.

 

IMO, camskill are always good on price and always deliver within days.



Good luck

 

Why do I always have issues? - Car related obviously

Finally got some tyres went to Costco as had £70 cashback plus the fact that they were around the same price as Cam skill (£420 for all 4 plus would have had to pay £12 delivery and fitting on top = approx £450 ) so worked out cheaper as fitting included with price at Costco. I appreciate that not everyone has a Costco nearby however the fact that they were about as cheap as anywhere else and the convenience that I didn't have to wait/pay for delivery and could get them fitted the same day (including nitrogen filling!) Bargain I thought well here's where the problems started:

I have a set of 18" wheels (7.5" front and 8.5" rear) and have decided to 'up' size tyres going from 215/40/18 to 225/40/18 in front and from 245/35/18 to 255/35/18 in the rear. The reasons are plentiful but mostly down to aesthetics and these sizes are more commonly available and so cheaper (the rears for example in current size are £26 each more than the new size) Now this wasn't just done on a 'wim' I had thoroughly checked (on several websites - http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/...ce-advice.html and apps) before proceeding with this that they would fit on the wheels.

So I was certain this would be ok however once I got to Costco they originally complained about doing it - weren't happy about the increase in size etc. and were adamant they wouldn't fit. after showing them the tyre equivalency chart they agreed to do it. Great I thought but then they said they couldn't get the old tyres off without damaging my (recently refurbished) wheels needless to say I wasn't happy about that so after another lengthy discussion they decided they would be able to cut off the old tyres. So hopefully I should have my wheels back in a couple of days.

I guess as well as having a rant I just wanted to know has anyone else had these kind of problems? I personally don't see an issue with the actual fitment of the tyres themselves, yes they may rub once on car but have coilovers so can adjust height and failing that I have an arch roller so can get round it.

The moral is I should have just gone to my usual garage and got them fitted. Apologies for length of the post and appreciate it if you took the time to read it.
