MyTyres have always been much cheaper for me, the extra cost of having the tyres fitted only is £5ish per corner.

Example:-

Local tyre fitters lowest price for a fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 = £110

MyTyres price £75 + £5 fitting charge = £30 Saving.. Per corner!!

Hi,

Linky....

Although I did not go to MyTyres eventually, as someone else offered them a little cheaper, the overall effect was the same.

Or you could do IT support for a car dealer and get your tyres at cost with free fitting. At least I do.

I normally get hard used tyres which are off jags so are p zeros. Otherwise, I go for goodyear nct 5's which cost me £90 for 4 and thats fitted.

Fitting shops get their tyres delivered by the same people as those who order over the 'net..
The will buy their tyres from similar locations/companies.

However, I would recommend that you do some searching about and checking of prices. And also find a tyre shop that is happy to fit own supplied tyres, and find out how much for.
It may be that they can supply the same tyre for the same price.. Worth checking JIC...
If not, buy them from your internet supplier and go with the tyres for fitting...

I've always got tyres for previous cars from CostCo - who only stock Michelin, but I see that they don't seem to be so popular among the members of this forum. Would anyone care to say which tyres they would have (on a C70 2.0T soft-top) in preference and why/what difference it makes?
