Default Recommend me an online tyre store (car)

Hi,

Looking for an alloy + winter tyre set for the car, can someone recommend any online shops?

Mytyres seems the most popular through google, but there's a lot of negative stuff floating about on the web on them...


Cheers,
dyz

Tyreshopper.com

Used them loads of times. You pay online, get the tyre fitted at a depot of your choice. I saved over £100 on two tyres recently.

I've used Blackcircles.com a few times in the past and I've found it trouble-free and decent value.

Very similar to what BP has described for Tyreshopper above. Don't know how costs compare.

I find Camskill or Blacktyres to be the best tyre sites.

I got my winter wheels from ebay. You may also be able to find some second-hand winter tyres on there too.

Camskill. Used them LOADS of times and never had a problem, generally always been the cheapest too. The only 'issue' with them is you can't order tyres with fitting costs included - you have to find someone to fit your tyres for you. Personally I don't find that a problem as 10 minutes on the phone to a few people usually finds someone will to sort that for a few cash notes far cheaper than you'd pay online as part of the tyre purchase deal.

I know it's not an online tyre place but I got two tyres from Costco yesterday. Same price as the online places but without all the waiting for them to be delivered. 2x17" Pilot Sports were less than £180 fitted.
