Default Buying tyres online...

Hello

I'm after some Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

Where's best to buy?

Cheers
Stew

camskill are mighty fine for prices, and next day delivery on most tyres.

Think mocom??? had a special on vredesteins recently too, might be worth giving them a bell.

Camskill are really good on price and delivery recently had a set of toyos for my classic from them.

Likewise Mocom are very competitive on Vredesteins where I had my sessantas from for my SpecD

Get on the phone and haggle.
I bought my Vredesteins for less than Camskill or mytyres wanted, and it included fitting!

Who did you haggle with and how much did you save on Vredsteins Sessanta's?

Where ever you have them from (and this goes for all tyres) make sure they're fresh stock..!

Tyres that have been sitting on racks for 6mths or longer (especially if their not in protective wrappers) will not perform as well as fresh rubber..! You know how rubber bands go when they get old..

All tyres have the wk/yr stamped on them (eg 42/08 is this week- wk 42 0f 52 wk year, iyswim..?). My GY-A's were 52/07 when I had them fitted in Jan this year so they were only a few weeks old..
