Title: New tires needed - who to go to?
Post by: AndyED30 on April 10, 2012, 09:47:22 pm

Got my car MOT'd today at VW (because it's just round the corner from where I work) and it passed with flying colours.

But............Nicola from service did attempt to instal the 'fear of god' into me by saying I need new front tires due to there only being 3-4 mils tread on the tires!!!!! The front could do with changing soonish but the rears are just fine.

I'm looking at Camskill because they do Michelin PS2's pretty cheap at £130.50, but is there anyone I should go to over these guys or more importantly anyone I should avoid?

Cheers, Andy.

Camskill were cheapest for the Toyo T1s I always use and hear they are good on most others.

I've used blackcircles in the past using their all inclusive price that includes fitting at their approved tyre shop.

Tried blackcircles 2 weeks ago. Ordered tyres sat at work waiting for delivery until 5pm. They called at 4.50 to state that they never had all the tyres in stock that I wanted, despite me having ordered them over 24 hours earlier. Had no excuse or reason for their rubbish customer service.

I used lovetyres instead. They are cheaper than camskill as well.
