Default Anyone ever used Black Circles, for tyres?

As above, has anyone on here ever purchased tyres from Black Circles website?
They seem almost to cheap to be true, and they arrange local fitting for you.

looked at them a bit ago, but decided on Micheldever instead (who were slightly cheaper)...they certainly seem very cheap. IIRC they dont advertise where any of the depots are, so it looks like a type of franchise that existing garages buy into
Sorry cant be of more use

I have used them,

wouldnt say they were mega cheap, is the price you see with or without fitting....

once i had done the fitting option, the price went up, but still cheaper than going through a garage to obtain tyres...

all went A ok, turned up at the garage as requested, tyres were there, fitted balanced torqued etc,

bill made up.. presented and away we went..

when you order, the with fiting option, they list garages in your area that are affiliated to them,,, for me it was a local company just down the road...

not one of the big boys either..

They are ok for convienience but I wouldnt say that they are the cheapest. When I got a couple from them a while ago the fitting garage said they could of done them cheaper!

I use www.mytyres.co.uk becasue they are SO cheap and even adding the extra cost of fitting at the local garge still makes them cheaper.

Used blackcircles a few times now. Recommended.
Last time, our local fitting centre was the local VW dealer.

used them this week. Ordered up on Monday, fitted local to me. Guy at the fit station said he would not have met the price, indeed he was 20 per tyre more expensive. Have used mytyres too, but they dont offer local fitting.

I almost ordered 4 tyres from them today to be fitted at my local Selecta centre, I rang Selecta direct and they quoted £70 less fitted.

Well TBH I've only ever bought Toyos from them. And I haven't found anywhere cheaper. But for other brands, www.buyatyre.com is usually cheap (and they send the RAC tyres van to your house to fit them for you).

Used Black Circles when I bought tyres for the Pug. The first ones I ordered were incorrect (MY fault). I phoned them, the guy says no a problem, we have a quick discussion and I order another (cheaper) set. He says leave the incorrect ones at the fitters and he'd dispatch the correct ones that day. Had a refund for the difference as well

Two days later I had four new Toyo's on the car

Thoroughly recommend them

I was looking for a set of 18" Goodyear F1's. I had checked out the Blackcircle price and where there fitting agents were. There were a couple local to me and the price wasnt too bad. I was in the area so I called into the fitting agent and he absolutely destroyed the Blackcircle price.
So look at their price, find out who the fitting agents are close to you, then pop along and see them and get a quote from them...... worked for me.
