I use this site all the time. It gives me an idea of the best price which i then use to haggle with. I've never ordered from them though.

Just bought 4, 235/45/R17 Goodyear F1's from these people. Customer service was good. Delivery wasn't brilliant (about 10 days) Price EXCELLENT----£92 each including VAT and delivery That was at least £25-30 cheaper than anywhere local to me, I then paid £15 per wheel for fitting, balancing etc. John Edited by jeyre60152 |

They certainly seem a lot cheaper. The local dealer as stated on the website quoted me about £30 more for tyre I was after. I didn't mention www.mytyres.co.uk as wasn't sure how it worked. Did you contact local dealer with regards arranging the fitting of the tyres or do www.mytyres do that? |

That works out at about £180/hr labour rate. I buy from MyTyres because I can get mine fitted for £5 a corner at my local tyre place - he doesn't mind where I get them from as he can't get anywhere near to matching the price and would just lose the £20 a set he gets. Agree about the saving though - about £30 per tyre than my cheapest local, and £100 per tyre cheaper than Kwikfit. I also get confusing e-mails/phone calls regarding delivery - i.e. they contact me on Tuesday to say it will be delivered on Thursday, however they arrive Tuesday afternoon?!?!? edited for language.

alot of places won't fit tyres bought from my tyres. this is mostly due to fact that the garages don't want any comeback should anything go wrong with tyres bought from outside uk.
i jus treshed my car 255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front with uniroyal sp2 for £428 all in fitted and 4 wheel super tracker.
