Supplier Recommendation - Tyres

Recommended Posts

No doubt you've listened to be twittering on about tyres recently. Well, found a company that had some cracking offers on so I thought I'd give them a punt.

Service has proven to be exactly what I wanted from an online provider. Confirmation of order, confirmation of payment, confirmation of delivery, including tracking.

Couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction +++

I know they do services as well rather than product - little opinion on that - but if you're looking for product I'd thorough recommend giving them a look. I couldn't find another company that came anywhere near on pricing.

Anyways, company is:

Camskill Performance

Hmm, what about when you take tyres to a garage to fit though - don't they hit you with a higher fitting charge and then you end up paying close to what you might have done in the first place (and saved the hassle of trying to fit 4 tyres in a tiny boot)?

It varies. Some places flatly refuse to fit tyres they've not supplied and others may ask silly money for fitting (I had someone quote £100/corner) but equally there are places that are happy to do it - I get mine fitted for £50 a set.

Camskill are very good, I've used them several times in the past and will be putting an order their way later in the week for some new tyres for the R32.

60 quid fitting.

Only last week I got some Vredesteins for the princely sum of £202 delivered from Camskill. £24 to fit both. At the same shop where I had them fitted, he priced the same tyres at £116 + Vat per corner fitted. I know why I use Camskill and delivery is for next day. I know its only about £50 but I'd rather save that by the few clicks of a button.

How odd.. I've only got one instance of 'Camskill' in the third sentence above but it shows twice.....random or what?

Yep, £100/corner! I can only assume that the didn't want the job but didn't want to actually tell me that.
