eventmobiletyres.com are very good and cheap. Fitted at your house or work. Excellent
i will second that ,i go to their depot in trafford park superb prices and service i had a tracking problem with myt5 they spent about two hours on it for no extra cost getting it bang on great guys
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?Originally Posted by TangoDeltaSierra3
Fun in the twisties!

No it cost me £25 for fitting n balancing locally although blackcircles do arrange fitting too but i had them delivered to work.
I had the new avon zv3 fitted probably a good rain tyre but i like the grip it give's even in the dry.No shoulder roll paid £160 for 2 he came to me fitted 2 new and balanced all 4 PROPER JOB! Rich
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!
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.

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
I got 2 continentals for £25 a boot!! They dont come much cheaper than that!

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
