Question

Sorry to cross-post here (from Wheels, Tyres & Brakes), but i thought that the locals would be "in the know"!

Anyone know the best place to get the above tyres in the West/East Midlands area - i urgently need a set for WCT4!

Criteria is:
1) Gotta be in stock (215/45 ZR17 87W's for MY01)
2) Reasonably cheap (at least sub-GBP100 each)
3) Caring and considerate fitting
...in that order

I am considering Tyres Northampton as they have a good reputation, but i don't know what their prices are like.

I just looked at Black Circles (latest SIDC recruit) but pre-discount they are GBP106.73

Yes, i have been to the Toyo web-site, but you can't beat first-hand recommendations!

Cheers,

mb

markr1963,

unfortunately MyTyres are "Please note: these tyres are subject to a delivery period of up to 1 week" for the Proxies, and i also need 'em fitted. Good price (£84,10) though.

justing,

The Tyre shop sound close by, but where are they? My Yellow Pages doesn't go that far!

JASON H,

ditto, presumably they are up Stoke way?


Cheers,

mb

Well it looks like i am probably going to go for Tyres Northampton at GBP99 a corner, as they have 10 in stock - thus driving down there tomorrow! I don't want to risk waiting from 'em to be delivered, as Wales awaits me at the weekend

Cheers,
