has anyone used them?

Used Oponeo. They were cheapest at the time for Avon Storm's inc delivery. But took about 12 days to arrive from Poland / East Germany.

I use blackcircles. Have done since it started actually. Only good things to say about them. Although in the last year or so they have become more expensive and have stopped their rewards scheme but still my preference.

so far they have been cheaper than most of back street fitters, protyre are 75p cheaper but dont have the tyres that i want

my only concern is the weights, i once had some cowboys put hammer-ons on my alloys a fecked them up when i told them to remove them, so i always want to check before fitting that they are stick-ons, but seeing as i would have paid already i cant walk away unless i supply them with weights

Been using Kwik Fit's website for a while now to get tyres for both our cars. Been paying a bit extra for the man with a van service to come to the house to fit the tyres rather than taking the car to the garage.

Service has been really good. Takes the chap 15 minutes or so for two tyres. I've checked the alloys afterwards and no scuff marks or damage and they use stick on wheel weights.

Prices seem competitive compared to black circles when I looked last time... also they had a good choice of brands and often have deals which give a good saving, which will normally swing it there way especially with the 19" tyres the Audi needs...

kwik fit were 20 quid dearer, bit the bullet with black circles.

I normally get a price from black circles then ask the garage that's going to fit them to match the price. Normally they do.

Do they sell bike tyres now?

I used black circles for my Alfa Romeo when I had it, they were good and used stick on weights for my alloys, which was good as they were bloody expensive

Yes they do now, only noticed this yesterday as they didn't do them a few weeks back when I was last looking
