Red_Nic Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I have read all the pinned posts on tyres and several posts underneath. What I'd like to know is which sites are good for purchasing tyres. In the past I've used www.tyreleader.co.uk I live in Suffolk. Was considering buying online.

coldel Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Plenty of discussion on this, common answers are: Blackcircles Openeo Asda Camskill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I don't mean to be harsh, but if you have read that many posts, you'd see that it varies. I'm lazy and only checked 3 sites, and they varied from week to week. Typically people use; Oponeo Black circles Tyreleader Feel free to google any more, these are just the 3 I use cause, like I said, I'm lazy. Please check the descriptions carefully, as sometimes they will have two of the same tyre, but one would be a lower load rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 mytyres as well. but personally I use tyreleader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just google cheap tyres and check all the top results for the cheapest price for what you want. There's no such thing as the best per-say, they're all the same really. Also, don't discount your local tyre fitters, sometimes they can match or beat online quotes.

Blackstar Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've used Black Circles lately as there is a fitting centre partnered with them just up from my house/work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 A lot of tyre depots won't fit tyres that have been sourced elsewhere either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Sometimes you can go onto one of the major Tyre Specialist websites and find tyres cheaper than the local branch. Like £100 to £150 cheaper Pay for them on line and deliver FOC to your local branch. Has Worked previously with ATS anyway. Black Circle otherwise in my experience.

Randy_Baton Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 There is a discount code for ASDA,so don't forget to factor this into any their prices. The ASDA code is 140 then 7 random numbers in the coupon box. Its 10% off all sales and the price includes fitting. You can select where to get the tires delivered and installed.

mr v6 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Tyre Leader fan here too, never had any issues & fast delivery even from Europe. Just make they're not 'new, old stock', which you can tell by the markings on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Costco is another place for good deals, Asda though, take a bit of beating unless you have a contact in the trade. Chap at work's brother can get me MPSS in the sizes I want for £5 a corner cheaper, that's inclusive of fitting and balancing though, which the Asda price wasn't.

Red_Nic Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Having done more research/reading, I have some more questions:- I currently have Dunlop SP Sport 225/45R18 fronts Dunlop SP Sport 255/45R18 rears fronts are on wear limit and need replacing before MOT on Dec5th. rears have only half worn down. got another 2 years easy on them do I replace fronts with Dunlop SP sports £249? or replace all 4 with Uniroyal rainsports £340? Are Dunlop SP sports better tyres than Uniroyal rainsports? no one has mentioned the Dunlop sp sports. they used to be the best tyre didn't they?

Never noticed that, is it recent, pretty sure it wasn't the case a few months ago , their price is now £27 a corner dearer, I'll reassess come the new year. But £108 saving is not to be sniffed at. To the OP, no idea sorry, The Ekona will no doubt sort you out there Edited November 14, 2016 by The G Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 seems silly to me to replace the rears if they're still perfectly functional, so i'd just replace the fronts with dunlops. or uniroyals, and then get matching uniroyals for the rear in a year or twos time. yes there will be a mismatch, but unless you're cornering on the doorhandles all the time I doubt you'll notice a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
