Anyone ever used these tyre supplier/fitters? They appear to have a huge stock availability that they ship to local vetted fitters at an all in cost.

Need some boots for me nice new wheels :D

If you use blackcircles or mytyres.co.uk and you want to see if you are getting a good deal, feel free to I'm me and I will let you know.
I am in the trade you see. 
Another member did just that the other day and it turned out he got a cracking deal on some Goodyears from mytyres.

According to the site, the price quoted on the site includes delivery, fitting, balancing and valves.

I just checked a price and the all inc fitted price for a 235/75x15 Enduro is £70.16
In my fastfit centre I charge £55 all inc for the Enduro.

If you tell me what you are after I can give you an idea of what you should be paying.
*EDIT* I just phoned my 4x4 supplier who has a branch in Bristol. It may be worth a call......
Protyre 01179 540123

Thanks,
I'm looking for a set of good AT tyres with low road noise, 235/75/15 (which I understand is the widest sensible fitting for a 7 inch wheel).
Cheers
IanJ

Hi Ian,
Pro-Tyre is just a stones throw from me.....and I can't rate them HIGHLY enough!! Whatever vehicle, they always seem to get the best quote and the service is fantastic! 8)
If you do get them from there - give me a call and pop in for a cuppa? :D
Regards,
Bruce.

Cheers Bruce
Just gave em a ring - BF Goodrich ATs £87.00 (less than Black Circles)
Falcon ATs £57.00. Icluding fiting, valve and balance.
Are the BFs worth the difference in price given that 95% of my time will be on the road?
Thanks
IanJ

BFG's seem to last FOREVER!! :D Seriously - the tyre is fantastic, and I wouldn't buy anything else for this sort of money (the only other tyre I'd use on my Deli is Mickey Thompson, but you DON'T want to know the price!!  )
Go for it.....you'll not regret it!
Regards,
Bruce.

I 2nd that.
B.F.G's are the mutts nuts. The AT are not excessivley noisey and they are the only 4x4 tyre that I know of which has a reinforced shoulder to cope with the hammering they take from 4x4's. In short they are the best 4x4 tyre you can buy.
£87 is spot on for a fitted price. Thats no surprise since Protyres sister company (my supplier) is the main supplier of B.F.G's alongside Michelin (who produce them).

Go for the BFG All-terrain, great tyres, really good grip on wet roads and decent off road tyres.
I've done 32k on mine and used less than 1/3 of the tread.
I had them on a sport track done 56k and still sold them for £100 :D
