Current deals on tyres?

discostu · 07-25-2011, 03:01 PM

I desperately need some new tyres (this week probably) on the front of my e90 330i M sport and wondered where you all buy tyres from, are there any discounts to be had anywhere, anyone seen any deals recently???? I have a local KwikFit but I'm not sure I would want to use them!?!?

I currently have Bridgestone Potenza run flats and find the ride harsh but like the idea of run flats and this set seems to have lasted fairly well!I've not decided whether run flats or non-runflats but for the moment at least that's not the purpose of my post.

Fronts: 225/40W18
Rears: 255/35W18

I will probably replace all 4 as the rears are fairly worn too.

Cheers in advance

Try Event Tyres.

pjs · 07-25-2011, 03:10 PM

Use kwikfit online prebook option for a good price. I've always had decent service, others less so

This. Used them for years, they're convenient, competitive, and most importantly, alloy friendly

+1 on event tyres both in terms of price and quality of mobile fitting

Get on the internet for a couple of hours and you might save a fortune. TyreShopper which is a front for national tyres has a price match and you can order via quidco for cash back. Tyre Traders are also worth a look at but you need to get what you want sorted to compare.

chris_s1 · 07-26-2011, 03:38 AM

I often find cracking deals on http://www.tyrexpress.com/

rs939 · 07-26-2011, 04:04 AM

Elitetyres or camskill

raf555 · 07-26-2011, 05:47 AM

i have a pair of Bridgestone run flat tyres 255/35/18 each with 7mm so not had much use.

no damage or repairs on them.

blackcircles are selling these at £230 EACH.

may sell if i get a good price for them!!

MEGA · 07-26-2011, 06:30 AM

camskill are always cheapest if you can get them fitted yourself

that tyre shopper site is ludicrously expensive 40 quid a corner more for pilot sports and also don't sell Falkens which is lame!

zltm089 · 07-26-2011, 06:49 AM

i've got the same tyres....my ones have about 4-5 mm left i think...u interested?... ;-)

just waiting for an opportunity to move to non runflats...

Mole · 07-26-2011, 08:38 AM

If you speak to Kwik Fit they will probably say they will match any quote. I picked my car up this morning after replacing an alloy and tyre.

I run Bridgestone Potenza run flats and was quoted £370 for a rear tyre. I knocked KF down from £370 to £289 after calling Bathwick Tyres who quoted £290 per rear tyre.

From my experience, the service was great and I purchased some beers for the guys as I saved the best part of £80!

EssexIan · 07-26-2011, 09:14 AM

I notice you are in Essex, I always use Jet Wheel & Tyre in Benfleet, they generally match any price I can find and do an excellent job!

I just replaced all 4 tyres with these guys http://www.alltyres.co.uk/index2.html and the level of service and price was outstanding.

If you are in the area you must check them out

Reggie-g75 · 07-26-2011, 02:16 PM

For gods sake don't go to kwik fit, you'll have some 18 year old idiot f### something up that is for sure! I speak with bitter experience!

Support your Indy dealer/fitter, most will price match.

parapaul · 07-26-2011, 02:23 PM

If you're around Essex, I'd second the vote for Elite. I think they're in Rainham, and they get nothing but praise.

1 AKY · 07-26-2011, 04:13 PM

alternatively try Costco......they recently had a "buy 4, get 20% off" promotion going. No idea if it's still on.

lemans 330d · 07-27-2011, 07:06 AM

Got my car in at sandal huddersfield today and he advised me i need 2 rear tyres which i knew and quoted me £590 inc 15% discount.

i have been quoted £370 fitted at my local pit stop tyre palce for the same potenza reo 40 non run flat.

£220 dearer by Bmw dealers,now thats why there called stealers.

BIGTIME · 07-27-2011, 07:41 AM

I got quoted £828 for 2 runflat 19 inch rears the other week when mine was in for a service. I declined.

ALBEE · 09-02-2011, 05:48 AM

Try Camskill or Micheldever, both on-line and both will deliver!

They have never caused me harm.

Not saying their workers are highly skilled, but most other tyre fitting companies also hire low pay low skill workers.
