Tyres
« on: 22 March 2009, 17:50 »
Where is everyone getting thier tyres from at the moment.

I'm looking to get another set of Eagle F1's (195 x 50 x 15) but they have shot up in price since I bought my last set! Anyone got a cheap place to get them from?

All comments appreciated.

Yeah I have. My tyres are quoting £51.80 (delivery only) and blackcirlces is quoting £83.26 fully fitted  :shocked:

They were only £34 last time I bought from Mytyres!

Just wondering if anyone had any better ideas??

im looking into the same thing myself atm as i need some for my fast approaching mot!

I was running toyo t1-s which lasted me all of 3000miles so im after something a little more hardwearing or i may need to adjust my driving style slightly, if you have a look on hotukdeals there is a 5% discount code for blackcircles

I've been looking at tyre prices on line but they're not even close to the price I got from a good tyre place, do a lot of shopping around, the prices vary greatly IMO.
