I need 4 new tyres but am wondering if anyone has any recommendations of any places online to use that are cheap. I only want tyres no fitting and am looking for 205 40 18 REO50A Bridgestone Run flats. Cheapest quote I've had was £145 per tyre lol.

I bought the last two tyres for my 'S' from www.Blackcircles.com, found them to be the best by far and the service was superb. With the Pirelli's, the best price I could get anywhere was over £145 each (fully fitted) but Blackcircles came in at just over £120.

You can specify the purchase of the tyres on their own - to which you get fitted at your own discretion or, you specify fully fitted which allows you to chose from a long list of approved fitters in your area, most of which are normally Central Tyres.

Will definitely use them again when I need my rear tyres this year.

Just be careful if you buy the tyres without fitting - most places don't like to fit tyres they haven't supplied and charge a premium as a result. Also any deal you get through Blackcircles with fitting at Central Tyres is still better than going to Central Tyres direct - I checked that before I purchased.

Thanks Mr Cooper, unfortunately Blackcircles are £175 per tyre lol. The local fitting centre is actually the place that are refurbing the wheels for me

so they have advised me to shop around as they know they cant offer best price and have charged me within the refurb cost for removing/fitting the tyres so they said if i can get them cheaper go for it. Some good advice there though, cheers

Thanks Sef will try them

I've used www.mytyres.co.uk before & they were quite reasonable, just had a look at the size you want, prices were:

Dunlop: £152
bridgestone: £167
hankook: £117 (not runflats)

Well, I'd expect you do always use them as you probably get staff discount...
