MyTyres.co.uk.... feedback

[ian65]

Has anyone bought tyres from mytyres.co.uk ... any feedback, good or bad?

Used em loads. They’re generally ok but are uncontactable if there is an issue so pay with PayPal or whatever so you can just get a refund rather than trying to deal with non existent customer service.

Also be aware they are a German company (delticom) and most of their stock ships direct from Germany so it generally takes the top end of the delivery estimate. It’s rare to get stuff in less than 5 days.

If they actually have them in stock then yes - they will take the 5 days they say. Don’t be alarmed if your “fitting centre” is surprised when the tyres arrive if you go fully fitted; one I found had been trying for ages to get off their list..lack of communication is an art of theirs.

If they don’t actually have them, they seem to spend weeks “checking stock in warehouse prior to shipment”. After several attempts to count to 2 or 4, they should eventually refund you so pay via something you can claim back through (PayPal/credit card - not a debit card). Be warned though - it takes them ages to count (read find tyres they don’t have but their computer says they do).

Delticom have many “brands” online - too many to mention as you might find if you’re searching for an obscure size.

I think I’d rather give my money to Demon Tweeks or Camskill if my local guy can’t help to be honest.

Asda tyres seem to be pretty good we fit a few sets a week via them at work

Camskill would be my choice, but you'll have to have a garage that can fit them for you.

Asda tyres are run by Blackcircles another one I'd check. The Asda branding gives you a bit more protection so they are my default. Local Garage who we use for MOT's and big jobs are agents for most and said they basically get 
a tenner a wheel for fitting which covers costs but benefits them only if they get other business.
Essentially the cost savings make them a no-brainer if you have the time to organise.

I use a local(ish) guy myself wherever possible

I've used TyresOnTheDrive before with good results. They've even managed to balance better than some local guys here!

My issue is the locals that can balance now want close to £20 a wheel for fitting, meaning the chap in Rugby I know well will tend to get the business ; I've never had issues there. I know of one local place who can fit for £10, but Jesus they can't balance wheels through either not doing them or trying!

I've used them
Good on price
You can order direct off there website or from there eBay shop
Use the eBay option because the price is almost the same but if you have a problem you can go through PayPal

As mentioned they are a nightmare to get in contact with
I've only ever had one problem and it did get sorted

Try Camskill, ive always used them and they have never let me down. great prices and delivery times.

It might be worth noting that some (not all) of the bigger tyre places will price match BlackCircles or similar.

[ballbagbagins]

My local place price matches black circles if you ask them.

I use 'save on tyres direct' on ebay as they supplied the alloy wheels for the transit. These came as a bundle but they gave me a choice on the tyre sizes, odd Chinese brand called hifly but as commercial rated tyres they get my vote. Very pleased with the next day free delivery service too. I think the first set did 20K - 25K miles and only showed signs of wear due to me inflating them to the wrong pressures. 

I have also used demon tweaks as a supplier for the Toyo's on the kit car. (supply only) 

My local National Tyres do me a mates rates fitting service as we do them discount on parts.

Overall buying online and bribing the local tyre chain fitter to fit and balance has saved me a few quid but mainly due to my choice of rubber as they are not available locally.
Sometimes what you save on purchasing, you lose of fitting.
