I am in need of 2 new tyres and wondered if the site had a sponsor/lead for any bulk buys or cheap places etc?

I have tried the normal blackcircles etc but thought I would ask prior to pushing the button, probably going to go with Kuhmo as I have had them on varous cars and always thought they were great.

I know many people will probably scoff however I had Rodian on my 22"ers and they did 31k miles on the front and are still 5mm on the back. They are not a high profile brand but cost about £150 a corner fitted which seems to be far better value than other brands. I have not noticed any poor handling in wet or dry so have been very happy with them.

The RR dealership has just put Duruns on the front at £165 a corner as they couldn't get rodians.

Maybe this helps

I won't really appreciate loads of arsey emails suggesting I am mad to put anything but xxxxxx brand on my car at £250 a tyre!

Very fair point - often the budget tyres perform very well in comparison to the usual premium suspects.

We don't have a tyre-specific sponsor, but maybe Duckworth Parts can help source for you?

Hi Artful

I have just had 4 Yokohama Advan's fitted. They were £177 each with fitting balancing and old tyre removal cost £708. The guys who did the work even came round to the house to fit the tyres.

As far as I am aware Yokohama are quite a good brand. So far the ride seems better and the tyres are less noisy than the Conti's that were on will just have to see how the tyre wear is in comparison. Had about 12k off the Conti's we had fitted last year.

I have Hankook at £115 and they out perform my £250 michelin pilots by a mile! they are quieter on the road, absorb bumps better and they have a higher grip level both on and off road so lets see how they wear and they might be a winner. people go for the expensive brands saying that its the only thing keeping you on the road but some times these boutique brands are just a name and the actual product is actually not really all that good. my last set of tyres were £1150 fitted my Hankooks £460 fitted and I love it.
