Camskill are very good but I did get my last lot (Goodyear F1's) from National tryes and they were cheaper than anyone else I could find.

+1 for PS3s - quiet and grippy in wet or dry.

I phone around and search the obvious sites, then give a local tyre shop the chance to price match.


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW.

Event tyres have always served me well, the home delivery and fitting is very convenient.

Or you could go to Kwik fit in shipley, yes i know before people say rip off, expensive. Ask for Bruce - manager or Chris assistant manager. Tell them i sent you. Chris used to to own the silver anniversary golf. They often try to price match most things
