Where do you get your tyres from?

I need two 195/55/15's for my 306. Wheres the best place to go for them?

Local independents are usually the best I find.

bigchez · 31 May 2007 at 21:22

cannot go wrong with blackcircles.com

or get a quote from them and push your local tyresales/kwikfit type place to price match it.

Seconded, they'll always match/beat internet prices in my exp. and it's a lot less hassle.

Thirded for Indies.

Theres a place down me called Harveys, did me a pair of H Rated Pirellis (Proper awkward sized ones being on a Mini) £108 for both corners fitted.

I use Blackcircles. Can never get the time to call places up to bounce prices around. They are good on price if you aren't too fussy about having a specific tyre. I think Hankook (sp?) are their best value "mid range" tyre at the moment in your size.

Ordered them online and they were outside my work fitting the tyres the next day

I've used Kwik-Fit for years, never had a problem.

Blackcircles have been great for me, also i have £16 in my tyre bank which is £16 off my next purchase.

Just go down a local garage. It shouldnt be hard to get a decent set of tyres for those wheels.

Get some 195/50/15 or 195/60/15

Probably will work out about £15 cheaper a tyre than the 55 profile.

Until you get the bill!

Maybe it's just me, but everytime I've got a quote for some 195/45/r15's, they want at least £70 per corner, when other places have tyres for half that.

Until you factor in the increase in insurance premium

I usually just go to Mr Tyre.

Just got 4 Eagle F1's for £260 fitted and balanced at the local independent place. Nobody online could match that.

My wife deals a lot with tyres in her dads independant garage. Nowhere I have found online can get anywhere close to prices she can obtain them for. My Merc recently had 4 Firestones for £130.

Go for an independant unless you are looking for something very specialist.
