Who's everyone using in the uk for tyres?

jwilliams · 05-30-2015, 03:40 AM

Get mine from Camskill.

Tyres on the drive
BMW

My most recent experience was that the main dealer matched an independent so I let them do it.

+1 main dealer generally matches the best price that I can find online.

Tyre leader

BRUNBERG · 05-30-2015, 12:05 PM

As above, tyreleader.co.uk are the cheapest

Greennigel · 06-01-2015, 07:09 AM

...what tyre's are the best ??

singh21 · 06-01-2015, 08:29 AM

I think the Michelin PSS are the best all rounder

Only other reasonable alternatives seem to be the handkooks and the Pirelli's

I heard the Pirelli's wear to quickly though

The continentals I had on my 330 did 36k mild before they needed replacing with 2mm left on them, so I'd consider these.

Jim300186 · 06-01-2015, 04:05 PM

My main dealer refused to price match. What dealer do you use denso?

M3/4 are completely different beasts to a 330. I got 5k out of my pss rears

www.event-tyres.co.uk.

Best price overall as their price includes mobile fitting at your home or work. All new latest gear and air jacks on their vans. Polite, skilled fitters that can change large / low profile tyres without rim damage using care and plastic coated machine arms etc. If you phone up you can usually get a few quid off over the web price too.

We've used them now for 7 years, sizes up to 295/30/19 with never a mark on the rims. Never go anywhere else now. The idea of driving somewhere and waiting in a grubby room for tyres seems ridiculous these days when someone will change them on your drive for less!

Damage is always my main concern. Any of the chain-tyre-shop places WILL generally mark your rims with low P tyres.

AdamW · 06-23-2015, 09:23 AM

Can you specify which tyres you get from new (PSS or Pirelli) or do you just get what you're given?

doughboy · 06-23-2015, 09:44 AM

As with all mass produced cars, you get what you're given. They'll have varied suppliers to guard against shortages.

AFAIK, it's Michelin or Continental for the f80. Or do people have other OE types?
