mrbeige 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Found this one, and I've used them twice now... Camskill based up in cumbria somewhere....telephone 01946-518202 I got Avon ZZ3 W-rated 205/40 R16 £60 inc VAT and delivery each, and they are bloody good tyres! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted January 25, 2006 I use http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ . Fairly speedy delivery and cheap tyres. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 25, 2006 Mrbeige, you should have said you needed 205/40 16s mate as I've got some you could have had for a good price :-) Mytyres are good too, especially if you want an older model of tyre which they seem to have huge stocks of!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 25, 2006 I never thought to ask on here.... :( No worries! Is 205/40/16 the right size the valver and G60 then? It's too small for the VR, so I've had to replace them with 205/45s.... You sorted you Stealth day/week yet dude? Noy yet but it's unlikely to be in January now :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted January 25, 2006 mytyres.net are fine if you're not in a hurry .. oh and if they have stock. They won't tell you if they don't, they'll just let you wait to contact them. Which is annoying when you *are* in a hurry. Yes, camskill get a thumbs up from me, cheap *and* cheerful (in a positive way). Bit of a limited range, but they seem to have decent stock and quick delivery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted January 25, 2006 How much does it cost to get tyres fitted if you buy off a website like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Think I paid £8 p/tyre at my local place & they kept the old ones. They also swapped my wheels round as well IIRC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted January 25, 2006 So between £30-35 for the lot? I'll have to add that to the price of my next lot of tyres when I get some online quotes. Cheers Trig ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 25, 2006 Anyone ever used car tyre levers to fit and remove tyres? I'm just thinking I could fit the rubber to the wheels myself and then take them down for balancing. It's just a PITA carrying 4 wheels and 4 tyres to a tyre place and you don't always recieve a warm welcome when you turn up with internet tyres either :-) Got 4 x Uniroyal Rainsport from Histyres (205/45/16) at £62 each inclusive. The best quote I got from a tyre place for those was £80 each plus fitting and 4 of the 6 places I rang couldn't even get them anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

logicaltuning 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Anyone ever used car tyre levers to fit and remove tyres? not easy at all unless your dealing with motorbike tyres Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 26, 2006 DIY tyre fitting? I'd be too paranoid about scratching the rims... The pro tyre fitter machines don't touch the rim and hold the wheel by gripping it via the hub, which is downright impossible if you're doing it by hand.
