Title: Online Tyres - Best Place
Post by: VeeDubDan on June 01, 2010, 01:06:10 pm
Been searching on line for 235/35/19 Goodyear Asymmetics and Camskill are £149 a corner.  Not finding many other deals out there so thought I'd ask the collective for pointers on the latest good deals!  :happy2:

TIA

As you mentioned in your OP Camskill are generally the cheapest online retailer I have found. Them or black circles

Have you rang round your local fitters? I did that when I got my PS3's and got them cheaper than I could online.

Thanks guys. Camskill can't be beaten so far. Going to be buying wheels too so might be able to get a package deal. Or as suggested have a local garage to call who may be able to sort something.

That's a good price for those tyres in that size, maybe Camskill have mispriced them.

I'm up in Aberdeen so only so many places to choose from locally. Rimstyle are one of the two bbs suppliers I'm aware of, they don't list gy assy but shall be calling them to discuss.

Do you have to pay extra for fitting with Camskill? My local garages want £15 a wheel to fit and balance so I always use tyre-shopper.co.uk as you just select your local garage and all in sorted!

Unless the tyres are prefitted to the wheels when bought as part of package I'll be taking them to a trustworthy local place for fitting, regardless of whether fitting is offered.  Won't let any old chimp loose on brand new BBS rims!

They don't appear to list asymmetrics, but the rest of their tyres look more expensive than some other sites.  Cheers anyways  :happy2:

Rimstyle are currently offering me a package deal of £2024 + £25 carriage for the wheels and tyres (they are recommending 225s) which is about £50 more expensive than buying the wheels on the own then getting the tyres from Camskill and fitting locally!

I've pointed this out so we shall see what they say tomorrow.
