tyres on the web

[GIXXERUK]

how many people buy tyres off the web ? my concern is that if there is something wrong with them the fitters will wash their hands of them

 

but to buy from a fitter you pay a premium - is it worth the risk ?

 

i bought a set of khans complete with toyo's and i had a nightmare trying to get them balanced- it ended up being eggshaped tyres

 

so do people feel its worth the risk ?

 

i need some 245/35/19

Seriously is it worth the risk ? how do you know they aren't seconds ?

there are a lot on ebay but..........

 

then there are other reputable places on line

Until I got the zed tyres were tyres so I didnt really pay attention.

 

Changed my mind now and as they are the only point of contact with the road I take no chances.

some online stores like camskill and mytyres have some good feedback.

 

I wouldnt hesitate to order from one of them to be honest.

tbh, a lot of the balancing issues come down to how the tyres are fitted. With Kahn's and Toyo's you really shouldn't be having too many problems but sometimes you do get a bad batch!!

 

For peoples information, there is a yellow dot on the tyre sidewall and this should be in line with the valve. By doing this, you will minimize the amount of weights needed on the wheel. A lot of places won't do this and therefore you end up with a lot more weights than are actually needed.

 

ebay is always a risk if you ask me...simply look at the other post on here about the Wii!! I'd always go with a reputable company, even if it does work out slightly more expensive. If you do buy off the net, you should ALWAYS check that the tyres are marked as approved for British roads otherwise in case of an accident, things could go sour very quickly as far as insurance goes!!

wheelbase in oldham did eventually concede they had a bad batch of toyos and changed all 4 tyres but i had already spent a fair few notes trying to get them balanced
