been looking into all these online tyre companys with their mobile fitting service ie www.etyres.co.uk
somthing seems to good to be true, like the price maybe? didnt know whether anyone has used any of these guys and got any issues with them?
I have brought lots of tyres from MyTyres. each time they arrived when they said they would - 100% hassle free so far.
recommended.
Yep I used them for my R888's no problem at all, nice guy and did a good job
Used:

http://www.mytyres.co.uk
Probably going to use next time:
http://www.camskill.co.uk
http://www.blackcircles.com
I've used camskill a couple of times
I've used camskill. Had no problems.
I have used 'MyTyres' for Yokohamas and Bridgestone Potenza's.
I had to wait a few days for 1 set of Yokohamas, but I was kept informed throughout.
All I bought were the tyres, I didn't need a fitting service, so cannot comment on that bit..

I used etyres. Seemed ok, but the guy forgot to balance one of the wheels. So at 80mph (on a private road) I had big wheel wobble. I phoned to
complain and they sent the guy straight back out to balance without any fuss.
So I would use them again. I guess they are cheaper because they don't have the overheads of loads of fitting depots.
I bought tyre from mytyres no issue, getting them fitted was a pain.
I now use the local fitter who works out no more expensive and if you got a problem they will sort it
Yup, another vote for etyres (I think).
Personally I don't think I'd use a Kwik Fit type depot operation again.
Order the tyres one day online, bloke turns up at your office the next and fits them in the car park. I made him a cup of tea and he was done in
about half an hour. He even advised me to replace the locking wheel nuts as they were shagged.
No hassle, no sitting in a waiting room reading an old copy of Autocar!

Etyres from me as well. They give you free puncture repairs on the ones they've replaced as well. I'd guess they're all slightly
different for service, as I think they're franchises, but the oxfordshire ones I was really happy with.

i've used mytyres many times and have never had any problems
bought mine from mytyres... excellent service even though the rears were special order...
don't forget the fitting cost though! cost me £40
I got ,ine from here.
Came a few days later, no problem.
Worked out much cheaper than elsewhere but I do have access to a tyre machine and balancer. They were still cheaper than trade.

I've used Camskill and Mytyres a few times with no problems. I've a marginal preference for Camskill due to shorter delivery times - they
also now send you a text on the day of delivery to say the van's on its way!
Fitting is an issue. Used to get it done on the sly at work for beer money but had to go to a Kwik Fit last time, though again for beer money as they
won't fit tyres not bought from them as a policy (or that's what they told me). Absolute rubbish. Comically bad steering vibration which
thankfully stopped quite quickly afterwards due to balance weights coming flying off! Total stonewall from the guys when i very politely asked them
to sort it. Never again.
If you can get someone to fit them, camskill is the cheapest.
Just got mine from Black Circle, £20 per tyre cheaper than Kwik Fit quoted. Fitting by local tyre fitter included in price. Very please with them.
