Where do you buy your tyres from? was created by NineCherries
Just about to buy new tyres and have been looking at all the usual suspects online. A local supplier can supply and fit them for £80 a corner (£20 more a corner than what I can get supply only online)
Is it better to support your local(ish) tyre guy???
My gut says yeah, deal local, but my wallet shouts out that i could almost buy a fifth matching tyre for my spare with the money I'd save if i buy online. Sure I'll need to find someone to fit them for me but.....

Got my last four from tyreleader. German or something company about £200 cheaper than the supply quote's I got from UK companies delivered to my door. Paid by credit card for insurance protection with no problems.

We use a local ish guy in thirsk who is very competitive with Internet prices for supplying and his fitting costs are not far off. Northallerton tyre and battery. northtyre.co.uk

I've had my last couple of sets of tyres (and wheels lately) from JimnyBits... might as well support someone in the Zook community if we can?

I would normally agree with you there Dave, But the quotes i was getting for the tyres i wanted were ridiculous.
On a plus side the 200 odd i saved went between you and jimnybits for new panhard rods and bushes
