    Hi I need to get tyres shortly and I'm wondering what online sites people are buying from. Also is there a problem with getting them fitted.

    Like to hear peoples experiences. Thanks.

    I've gotten two orders from eiretyres.com now. Based in Germany. Prices seemed good and delivered by DPD in about a week.

    It was a bit of hassle getting them fitted. I had to ring around a few places but found one that fitted each tyre for about 22 inc balancing.

    Just ordered for the third time from Tyreleader. Found them to be cheaper than Eiretyres and Oponeo. Lots of smaller places will fit them you, just need to phone beforehand. Usually around €25 per corner.

    I just checked the tyres I got from eiretyres, on tyreleader and they are a bit cheaper. Maybe the environmental charge hadn't been added yet but they were around €5 cheaper. I'll have to check them again when I'm ordering tyres next time.

    Thanks everyone I'll check those out. Getting them fitted will probably be the pain.

    What size are they? Unless they are something in an unpopular size or high performance then buying online rarely works out cheaper when you take fitting into account. Have you priced them locally?

    Never buy tyres from garage direct. They always fit crap unless you pay over the odds. Buy online, you know what you are getting then.

    I always call in advance and ask what they have in stock and if they dont have what I want Ill either wait till they order them in or go elsewhere. The only time a tyre was fitted I didnt want was when I got a blowout and had no spare so had to take the Chinese brand in the van. It was crap and I had to replace after a few weeks.

    As said earlier if you have std sized wheels you can get decent prices from bricks and mortar outfits if you make a couple of calls

    Surely mobile tyre fitters would probably fit them for cash, be cheaper than a garage, especially if you find a local guy
