Hi all,
I recently moved to London and I need two tyres. Where is the best place to get tyres preferebly in north London, but I would travel a bit further to get a place that definitey wont scratch the wheels.
TIA

dartford tyres 2000, the crayford branch does online prices, can get any tyre in next day, do alot of track tyre fitting, and have always fitted my tyres which have a stiff sidewall without issue or scratch.
Bit of a trek for you, will ask my north london mates on facebook where is good closer to you though.

i still use the on line retailers , black circles , cam skill ect , last month got 2 falken fk452 £69 each free delivery , and cost £10 a tyre fitting at my local ATS :happy2:

Do you have a link to their prices? I can't find it...

It looks like you need to give them a call

Elite in Rainham Essex are very good, both very competitively priced and the fitter have never put a mark on any of my wheels, I have used them about 5 times now :happy2:

tyre shopper or blackcircles both very competitive and will give you an idea from your postcode of the garages in your area.

Camskill!!!!! I got 2 Vredestein Ultrac sessanta 225/40 18 for £99 each Bargain!!!! :happy2:

I use wheels in motion out near chertsey... its a bit of a drive but they do top quality work and usually have ferraris and porsches in! :happy2:

get the tyres off camskill and pay someone to fit. you won't get it cheaper than that

Do people usually mind doing this? Is it more of a cash in hand job?

Plenty of (smaller) places will fit them, normally for about £10 a tyre.
When you find a good fitter - ie one that knows how to fit a tyre without marking the rim or using knock on weights :sad1: then it is a good idea to keep them in business :happy2:

Just to close this up I got the tyres from Dartford 2000 tyres. They took great care and didnt put a mark on the wheels :happy2:

I have used Dartford Tyres for over 20 + yrs now as I worked in the area and have always found them competitive , although with the number of online companies now i'm not sure if they are still competitive without checking .
What tyres did you end up going for out of interest and how much were they . I also need some tyres so have been looking around.
Cheers Mark

I went for GY Assy 2's. I havnt done many miles tbh but I have been up to motorway speeds and they are noticeably quieter than the Bridgestone RE050 A's fitted before. They have gotten great reviews and are good value too :drinking:
Ill pm you what I paid
