Camskill are normally very aggressive on price but I've found lately that my local guy gets within £5 of their price anyway .

It's preety academic these days as every man and their dog offer to match any quote. I did some googling and looking at places like black circles, camskill and mytyres and HiQ round the corner matched the fitted price. The advantage is that it's a brand new workshop and easy to get to.

Previously, I used to buy off mytyres and then get a local guy to fit, but it's too much hasstle for me.

If you have a costco nearby they are likely to be the cheapest for Michelin (~£118 for 17" PS3's) but they only do michelins ...

Kwik-Fit online are pretty good too.  They have online only prices where you can also book a fitting.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of fitting/balancing.

I usually find, prices may be cheaper on Camskill but after fitting and balancing costs it totals to more than my local tyre garage.

iv got a friend who does tyre fitting :) so he can fit them for me for cheaper than most places, but he can only get certain brands none of them are what i want :), and cheapest place for vreds is elitedirect.com @ 79.90 quid each and cheapest for ps3's was camskill @ 102.50 quid each :) so vreds it is :)

cheers for all your help guys
