Has Anyone Used This Website For Tyres?

[Jackdaniels]

Well i ended up at kwik fit this morning as i wanted my alloys fitted asap but it turns out that they need new tyres so im on the hunt for some cheap decent tyres. I looked at the nexen range but they do not do the exact size that im after 225/55/17, so i found these:

and wondered if anyone has tried these or if they have used this website?

Thanks again

Edit just found the glowing reviews of Nankang so looks like i have to stick with the slightly wrong sized Nexens 3000s. Anyone ordered from:

Experience tells me that you should not fit "El-Cheapo" and unknown brands of tyres to a car.

I'd stick with the known brands such as Goodyear, Toyo, Dunlop etc. I personally use Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetics. Before the Goodyears I had Fullrun's fitted- a pile :tsktsk: IMHO.

Falken do a decent tyre range and also the Nexens also seem to get good reviews. A couple of people on LOC are running Nexen tyres.

I normally buy my tyres from Blackcircles. Camskill also do quality tyres at competitive prices. Order from Camskill if you can and get a local tyre place to fit the tyres you supply- that's what most people do. I'd normally buy from Camskill but I don't have anyone near me who are willing to fit tyres that they are not supplying.

This is a turn up for the book, i rang kwik fit to see if they would fit the tyres if i bought from Camskill and they said they wouldn't so i asked for a quote on some budget tyres and they were giving me largish prices for Firestones. Turns out they are offering 25% discount on pirellis soo im getting a set of 4 pirelli p7's for £438.24 fitted and balanced which i thought is a great price.

I drove Nankangs on my previous car, not very happy about it. Noisy and steering wheel was shaking on high speed, even after balancing 2 times at different shops. After that fitted some Michelin's and the problem was solved, so it didn't had to do with the rims...

I used Nankang (NS 2's) on my old car not on a lexus and to be honest they were fine for me, i did find that they wore quite quickly but then again might have been the way i was driving it???

if your after cheep and cheerful i thought they were not bad at all.

Not sure about the web site but i have used www.mytyres.co.uk a couple of times and so have a few of my freinds and they have been pretty good on all counts really

I would have tried Tony at Wheels in motion first,he does a good deal B)

Had Nankang NS2 and they were noisy and unstable.Also shaking at high speed as Jappie said.Going to buy Goodyear asymmetric this year.

Well just to give an update, i finally got this sorted on Friday at Kwik Fit. Ordered 4 x pirelli p6000 for £487.24 including fitting. (A discount of £364!!!) I think i got a good deal for a good set of tyres but its a lot more that i wanted to pay for some tyres!

I used the wheel nuts that were on my factory standard alloys but they seem quite exposed with no caps on. Is there any that someone could recommend i get?

Thanks
