Black circles are OK but I've found that they can be undercut easily.
I got obsessed with finding a good tyre deal a few weeks ago and I did the Black Circle search then rang their local recomended garages direct and the price was between £40 and £120 less for all four non-branded tyres...

I do hope you didnt buy non branded tyres for a 150MPH swedish super car

This could lead you in for an early bath

I thought Goodyear F1 GSD2 @ £82 each was good going myself, it was cheaper than mytyres.co.uk by about a fiver a tyre.

Was that fitted & balanced?

No it cost me £25 for fitting n balancing locally although blackcircles do arrange fitting too but i had them delivered to work.

I understand the fact that good tyres are essential on a Volvistic missile but I took the advice of the tyre man (who knows more than me which isn't hard).
He provided me with a recommended tyre and stated that branded tyres include BT (brand tax) - the tax for having a name on your tyre which few ever read. Quoting the man in the blue overall, "The tyre may cost twice as much but isn't anywhere near twice as good." Note that Kumhos (a tyre in question) are not branded but are the stock tyre on Porsche now.
I'll freely admit I know jack about this as I rely upon the advice of 'experts' including large numbers of the people on this site.

Give me Goodyear any time, i'll admit i'm a bit of a label freak, not as bad as 10 years ago like but give me Nike over Gola!

**pault5** · Monday 28th March 2005, 21:57

ok i'll admit it now, had 4 kumhos fitted 2 days before christmas. 205/45/17s for £300 at my local tyre fitters. no problems to report at all.

**HuskMan** · Monday 28th March 2005, 21:59

Fair enough. I bought an 850R over a T5 - that is a label and cost me more so I've no room for comment.
As long as the car stops in time, sticks to a corner and stays inflated I am happy.

I deliver the test tyres to kuhmo at mira still trying to get some freebies but there tight as an a******* but got some good advice though Rich

I think youll fine they are quite a well respected brand as it happens these days , they do 4 by 4 tyres for big japanese 4 by 4's

**Mrsmopp** · Tuesday 29th March 2005, 12:37

Where Nats? - I need 2 fronts quite soon!
(Std rims).

**V8guitar** · Tuesday 5th April 2005, 15:33

..and I need 2 rears...as Dave pointed out that one was illegal!

**bigndaft** · Monday 11th April 2005, 14:23

I did the web search and the ringing round for two tyres and found Costco was my choice (you need a mate with a membership card though) they only do Michelin so not much choice their

but they balance all wheels and did a great job cos you worry about the alloys when they clamp them in them machines

the strange thing is if you only buy two tyres they will move them to be the back wheels, they won't put em on the front
