4 new tyres fitted - very happy
Just had 4 new Goodyear 18 inch tyres fitted at my local tyre fitters and they asked me why I’d bought them through Asda, when they could supply and fit them from stock.
I asked them how much the Goodyear Eagle F1s we’re fully fitted, balanced and old tyres destroyed, he told me £167 a tyre, I said I paid £110 per tyre from Asda, are you going to match their price? No way was the answer, but they have the contract to supply and fit the tyres for Asda, it’s a no brainier... |

Just put 2 budget tyres on the V70 (17" wheels) £96 in total. Bought thru Mytyres and fitted at National. Ratings and reviews were good.

I used Asda Tyres recently too for some 19 inch BMW Pirellis.
Camskill were cheapest at 165 inc delivery, but not fitting./ Asda 187 fitted. 242 cheapest phoning local tyre places. I was not going to pay over £100 more for 2 tyres. I mean that's almost a tank of fuel these days! |

It’s personal choice, but I wont use budget tyres when doing high mileages, never found them economical over the distance, yes I know they've come a long way from the old days, but having bought cars with budget tyres on in the past, you notice the difference when you change to quality branded tyres.

I didn’t know Asda sold tyres. There’s one at the end of my street. It’s our corner shop. Never seen them on their web site. Is it only certain stores or on-line only?

We live in the south west and they are cheaper than any other supplier down here, I suppose it gives you the option to either save money or, buy a better tyre within your budget, Asda saved me £220 on four tyres yesterday. |

I just had two Michelin Cross climates fitted to the front of my V70, they cost £142 each, and were fitted as part of a general service at a specialists. I could have got them a bit cheaper, but I know the garage I use are as good as it gets and do a proper job. I don't mind paying for good tyres, what price do you put on your safety, especially when towing? and these tyres are the best I've ever used by a country mile, I wouldn't have anything else on this car.
