Dbw1shrops Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 As above does any 1 know of a good cheap place that delivers on the net I'm after either general grabbers or b f Goodrich 255/55/r18 for the disco and can't seem to get any in my area (Telford) for a reasonable price thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just bear in mind if you buy off the net and try to get them fitted and it's not in a deal to have them done they will sting you on the price for fitting unless you know someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah I know a garage last time he charged me £30 when I had my comet wheels powder coated black at work ! That was for taking tyres off putting back on and balancing good price I thought but then he is a friend lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_gleave Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Try etyres we use them for all the company vehicles and they always seem reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Black circles are supposed to be good, I think they can include fitting at various locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

point and shoot Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 tyreshopper.co.uk work through National Tyres. you order and pay tyreshopper and have them fitted at national by appointment.

steve_b_wales Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Black circles are supposed to be good, I think they can include fitting at various locations I used Black Circles two years ago, and they were very good with their prices. I also bought a load of concentrated windscreen wash (5 ltr containers) very cheaply, which included delivery to one of their agents local to me.

mr_magicfingers Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I bought my tyres from Camskill, best price I could find and delivery was cheap and fast. My local garage charges me about £20 to fit and balance them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-b Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) I had a look on camskill they don't do the bfg's in that size only 265/65r18 Edited January 4, 2014 by mike-b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Black Circle are great, me and the missus use then for the truck and the car. Great service and prices are keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi mike b I can't see the bfg's either but I'm pretty sure you can get that size maybe they will cost a bit more !? I know you can't get the mud terrain on 18s only up to 16s I think ! Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatcher Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I have recently bought a new set of tyres for my Peugeot and used a company called 'Tyre and Go'. They were absolutely fantastic (especially with the free shipping! ) and were really helpful when answering the questions I had. Might be worth a quick search...

I bought my winter tyres on the Internet for £40 less than the local price and my local tyre fitting dealer (private) fitted them including balancing for £8 per tyre. These were really large tyres for my pickup. My son - in - law does the same with his disco 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were lucky then, I know someone who supplied tyres for fitting and the garage charged then £25 each fitted and balanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningDJC Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Never seen BFG's in that size, a friend of mine ran a set of malatesta remoulds in the size you want and were silimar pattern to the BFG, lasted over 30 thousand miles and pretty good price. Still not sold on the new General Grabber AT. Have a look http://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/shop/search.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Black circles are supposed to be good, I think they can include fitting at various locations I got a set of four general grabbers A/Ts from black circle for my vitara 215 - 75 - 15 the biggest ones that will fit without lifting it for just under £400 fitted then I sold the bloody thing and lost a shed load of money as I wanted a bigger truck.

four-wheel-drive Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) If you are going to keep your truck for a good time I would go for the BFG ATs they are expensive but worth it in the long run if you cannot find the exact size you can usualy go up in size a little ask other people or go on a LR forum and ask there you can also check the sizes. http://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/4x4_tyre_size_tool.php?osCsid=igasl0vpe5viqnb8mmp9la2716 Edited January 5, 2014 by four-wheel-drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I ordered my tyres off camskill but when I phoned to ask about delivery they where out of stock so got a refund.I phoned my local garage and they worked ouf cheaper as fitting was included.It was going to add another £40 if bought over the net as fitting,balance was £10 a corner.
