Best place for new tyres - Mini, not Maserati

[dunnah01]

Cheapest tyres are usually Valuetyres but I've had a couple of issues around delivery although all sorted fairly easily

Cheap tyres does not mean good service hence my earlier post of using black circles and another one.

I use blackcircles too.

But I also use a fitter from their site that actually comes to your house and fits them. Same fitting price as going to their shop.

On your bicycle?? I thought you'd given up on motorised transport.

To be fair to Valuetyres it was the receiving garage that messed up. They hadn't dealt with them before so ignored the paperwork. I could see the tyres in their garage when I went to collect the car from them after they'd said no tyres had arrived. A huff later and they were fitted.

But you had hassle, which costs you time, which ultimately costs you money... (It's a life lesson I learnt, not a go at you, pay a man to do something that would take you twice/thrice the time to do it and you can do something else)

Never heard of Valuetyres...off to check them now for Strad, £750 plus VAT to be beaten....

£780.40 fitted plus VAT

So, based on I get charged £10 a tyre by my local, its £9.60 cheaper but I only trust my local guy so Ill stick with supply only.

My wife’s Y ref Ford Focus.

£50 a tyre including fitting.

The tyres are now worth more than the entire car.

Good news is I now have 4 brand new quality tyres on my Mini....

Bad news is that 3 out of the 4 wheels are badly buckled apparently, which is probably why I thought I had slow punctures! The garage have bead sealed my tyres, but have suggested if I continue to experience loss of tyre pressure that I might need a new set of alloys... time to start searching ebay?
