Default Best place to get tyres

Hi all, i need to buy a bridgestone 205 50 r16 87w tyre for my car, best price i can fine is a mobile fitting company quoting £100. Sounds a bit steap to me for a r16 tyre.

Anybody know of any better deals or is it just the norm?

Cheers

Have used both Black Circles and e-Tyres. Both good. E-Tyres do mobile fitting too.

Can get Hankooks (which i've used on 2 Scooby's and round Nurburgring and are tip top) for £40 inc vat from Mototrend in Leeds. Then i get ATS to fit and balance em at £10. If your round Leeds area, give em a try (u need to be a trade customer, if your not let me know and i'll order em from my work.....obviously only if your in Leeds/Wakey area.

Kwikfit!!!!

Just print the screen off mytyres (who are normally cheapest) and they will price match.

I've done this a couple of times now saved nearly £50 a tyre last week on the lexus and nearly £40 a tyre on the scoob a couple of months back.

Could of been an accident on a road you use and the crap on the road hasn't been cleaned up properly, make sure you check where you park at work and at home for any ****, probably stating the obvious there.

Micheldever tyres near Andover are always worth a phone call if you're anywhere in the south. I usually find that for one tyre they're not cheap enough to pay for the travelling but if you need four the savings cover the costs. They're on 01962 774437.
