hoff Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey Steve. Mytyres are quite good, black circle too. And you should see what Ibrar on here can do for you:) Camskill are top notch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 camskill for me too, great prices and delivery time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I've had horrific service from blackcircles before, but that's because of their chosen courier tbh. Camskill would be my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 well tyrexpress have beaten camskill on a few prices ( ok just 1 i think) but i am sure the last time camskill said they do a price match or will beat the competition so far ive found that toyo T1R 235/40 will cost £112 per tyre and tyre express will do the rear , 285/35 for £141 but Good year Eagle F1 GSD3 are on ebay for £130 a tyre just find any cheap fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've used camskill before, but after the last time, I took the tyres along to a local tyre place to get them fitted... He could have supplied and fitted the tyres for £2 more than it ended up costing me. The extra whole £2 is worth it for me not having to arrange to have someone in to take delivery and lugging the tyres around myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I use Event Mobile Tyres, who come to my house (or work) and change my tyres. You pay a couple of quid more usually, but it's worth it for the convenience IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, Some garages charge £20 a wheel to change which can make it more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra whole £2 is worth it for me not having to arrange to have someone in to take delivery and lugging the tyres around myself. Every time I've bought tyres in the last few years my local supplier has been within a few quid of the total cost of buying online (often cheaper). Buying online doesn't always save money...

Thorin Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 anyone recommend these or are they crap http://www.tyrexpress.com/Falken/FK_452_295_30_18_Y_44004.aspx Falken F452's are an excellent tyre. I've used them for years and rate them on a par with the old Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Never been able to find anyone who can beat my local Chessington Tyres. Got a pair of 265/35 R18 Pirelli Pzero Nero N4's tyres for £140 fitted each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Ok might just start a new thread lol if you had a set of wheels 8.5x18 and 10x18 what and where would you buy from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Got camskill sourced tyres fitted to the Mini today, basically I got 2 pirellis for the price of one from here. We where trying to figure out why they are so cheap and one of the mechanics said , did I check the production date on the tyre, even though they are new if they where manufactured back 6 years ago, tyres have a shelf life(he commented he seen this before, new tyres but manufactured back in 2004) On further discussion, they said within the EU a new legislation is coming in to ensure all tyres must have a manufacture date within 3 years, currently it is 6 Will check them tomorrow, anybody with camskilll tyres should check too How to identify Manufactured Date http://www.discountcartire.net/2009/...xpiration.html Found these good too, http://www.eiretyres.com/ (German Company) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
