Looking to replace two front tyres, have used black circles in the past, just wondered if there were some other online retailers i should consider ?
 
Camskill are local to me and used them plenty before they went online sales only.
 
Just got back from fitting 2 rear tyres in my car, after searching best deal out there I found that Asda tyres was offering the best prices. Paid 303.60 for two second cheapest was ATS 210 per tyre.
 
Good shout,ASDA.
Anyone heard of Nankang tyres ?

Nankang are "upper low budget" tyres. Decent rnough compound for everyday driving on the NS2. If you hsvevavtendency to corner, how shall we say..., at pace then the beads will wear quicker than Liverpools defence held out in the second half last night.

Not great but not the worst out there.
 
Mainly commuting on straight roads.
Did have continentals but side walls have started cracking at just under 20k.

Any other budget brands I should look at.
Premium brands start around £120 for my tyres.
 
I have found that if you search the likes of Black Circles etc and look for their local fitter, if you phone the fitter direct for a quote, it comes in cheaper than the online site. I replaced the two rears on my BMW 330 on Wednesday and saved more than 15% of the best online price.

I've used Kumho for several years now and always been pleased with them, you may want to consider them.
 
Never ever buy cheap Chinese tyres. Just no.

If you want to buy mid range look at some of the mid range companies, not Pirelli, Continental, Michelin, Dunlop, Goodyear. Look at who owns them. For example Barum is a Czech tyre company who is owned by Continental, think Skoda for tyres. A good, decent tyre that will have quality control that you can rely on. Plenty of other firms like Barum out there who have QC standards from big brother.
