Tyre Price

[dave1]

Just had to purchase 2 tyres 185/65/15. Decided to go for Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance as the reviews were excellent and the ratings of A, B and 68Db. Checking online Kwik Fit were by far the best price at £56 each fitted, balanced etc. I thought I would check the price at the depot in case it was cheaper but it was £187 for 2 compared to £112 online price. So if you need tyres it appears to be very worthwhile checking online as well as depot prices.

I found National Tyres was also cheaper online, in fact they admit as much on the website, saying that the prices are online only.

Don't think the difference was as marked as your example though, that is some saving.

Massive saving. The local depot manager agreed that it was totally ridiculous to have that difference in cost. The tyres still have to be delivered to the depot who then fit them etc. and produce paperwork for it. The only difference is that instead of paying them I pay online!!!!

I'll take a look, as I need a couple of new tyres for my caravan, plenty of tread but showing first signs of cracking, so thanks for the tip.
