New tyres time

[Conrad]

Right after seeing all the good reviews on here I've decided to go for the Goodyear as2s extra load been quoted £480 fully fitted and balanced with free computerised alignment and only charge if out. This is by merit tyre sunbury I've got it booked on for Saturday morning sound good to you guys?

They are about £420 delivered from camskill.  Most fitters charge about £40 full set balanced, tracking is usually free if it doesn't need doing.  So in all you could do it for about £20 cheaper.

I like to try and keep local business open, so I'd go direct to the garage.  Takes the hassle out of waiting for delivery, loading the tyres etc. If it was a lot more I'd consider the alternative method.

Cool not a bad price then. As it's all in one place and I just turn up its fairly easy for me I don't know any local garages  tbh its my first personal car. After seeing all the good reviews of aks I think that's were ill be taking my car when anything needs doing.

Good price that! 17" or 18"?

Merit Tyre Sunbury really ...... they are 2 mins from my house but would never use them they always find something extra to charge and don't do a great job.

I use Feltham Tyre Center, they have always been good and have a proper Hunter 4 wheel tracking ramp.

I think Merit tyre have the Hunter wheel alignment also. Feltham Tyre Centre have always been spot on when ive been there.

18"s ill be honest I don't know what a hunter wheel aliment is but the one in merit has lights that flash red and green didn't have a proper look but they look clean a tidy but ill give Feltham tyre centre a call see how much it is there thanks for the help.

If you go to Feltham Tyre Center you wll see the difference :)

I just gave them a call quoted me £180 something a corner! quite a price difference called merit back to ask what alignment machine they have and they've got the hunter hawk eye  with that price difference I think I'll have to try merit they've been helpful each time I've called up. Did they have the hunter when you last went?

[Stumpey]

I haven't used them in years so don't know about the hunter, I just wont use them because they cocked up ( tyres the wrong way round) and then argued the toss, you can't kid a kidder!,  you only get one chance and there are plenty of other places to spend my hard earned.

Of course things may have changed and your experience may be better let us know :).

I'll just have to double check everything I'm pretty fussy if I'm honest and yeah will let you know how I get on

That's a good price, I recently paid £524 all in but with no alignment.

[Conrad]

Just thought I would update this all fitted by merit ended up costing £555 as my front and rear alignment was out. They walked around and checked the alloys with me before they started and if you signed up to there discount card thing could have got another 5% off but I didn't fancy my email being spamed. The new tyres are amazing compared to previous worn ps3's on the front, even though the weather's cold so bring on the summer!
