I use mytyres.com.
I have an Audi A4 Avant and use Star Performer low profile tyres from S Korea. They've been excellent and a very good price compared to your Dunlop and Goodyear, etc. |  | | |

I bought Briway tyres and they've been superb despite how cheap they are compared to the well known brands. |  | | |

Thanks gents, now you've touched on it above, paying extra for the "better" makes, is it worth it really? If you say yes, please explain why?
I always used to by the cheapest or part worns when i was growing up, but the last 10 years or so i've gone with the better ones. I can't say i've ever noticed the difference, but it does give you a peace of mind i think.
Been quoted £300 for a pair of Continentals, which is what i've had on there since day one. | |

Contis way over priced imho,rubber tends to crack especially if been on for a while.Try something a little cheaper,like Cooper etc, if you don't want to go bargain basement.I run on Avon ZV5s which work out about £110 a corner, tidy rubber imo.
It's all a matter of personal choice at the end of the day.Read some online reviews first. | | | |

I had Continentals on from new, they would have cost me about £180 per tyre to replace when the time came, so bought Star Performer instead at about £80 a tyre from My Tyres. On my third set now. Quality has been excellent and they last about 20% longer than Continentals. Drove to Poland and back on them last week on the autobahns at 100mph.
On My Tyres you can see independent ratings on all the offerings. | | | |

blackcircles.com is who I generally use. They'll give you a grip rating for each tyre and as a rule of thumb good grip = high wear and less grip = good wear.
Order tyres via the website and then choose your place of fitment.
A brand tyre doesn't necessarily last longer.
I've just used Black Circles for a pair of Pirelli Rosso which were good for 42,000 miles on the rear
There are two components that you shouldn't go cheap on and that's tyres and oil. [Post edited 16 Aug 2017 20:11]

I used Simon and Jason Tyres in Uplands (The Grove) last time. Nice guys and Swans fans too, plus they were as cheap as anything I could find online fitted. Stuck a pair of Bridgestones on the front, and for that particular tyre were the best around price wise. |  |

I used to do around 16k per year, on my front wheel drive golf I'd plump for more expensive front tyres and budget rear tyres, they tended to last well. | |

Always buy a top brand but the car dies a lot of mileage and I believe they are safer tyres. I may just have swallowed the advertising lines though.
In terms if getting new tyres id definitely recommend Smartyre. He may have to order in within 24 hrs but he'll come to you and he's no different in price to Harris Bros. saves the exceedingly long waiting time in these places which I've never understood.
Try him out! |  |
