Car Tyres > Goodyear Car Tyres

Customer service sucks. Car worse that when I went in.

Advantages: Tyres had more grip than my old ones
Disadvantages: Driving costing me 20 percent more

The last time I went in there, it was to get 2 new front tyres. I hadn't done my homework and accepted the receptionists recommendation - first mistake. So I waited for about an hour and got these tyres put on. On the way home I saw my average mpg display drop. Usually I get 55 ish mpg, After getting my tyres changed it is now 46. I knew straight away that there was a problem but it was too late to go back. I gave it a week before I had chance to ...
...more accurate reading. I want back and I explained the problem to the receptionist . To be be fair, he did look at the tyres and declared them fine but then went on to blame:- 1.The MPG is not accurate - he later withdrew this allegation after I showed him the average MPG on the cars dashboard. Its a one year old car with an on-board computer. 2. My driving 3. The temperature 4. The rain 5. The car needs a service. 6. I should take the car to the ...

Review of ProTyre, Bristol

Shocking service for batteries

Advantages: none for batteries
Disadvantages: you don't actually get a battery, they take money from your account for a non-existing product.

I have used etyres once before for a replacement tyre and found them to be fine. However when I tried to use them for battery fitting it was a different story. I was stuck at home in the snow with two small children and no car all weekend so I booked the battery fitting for MOnday with a note asking for them to fit me as soon as possible on the MOnday morning as we live int he middle of nowhere and the cupboards were looking decidedly bare! Monday ...
...by 10 so rang up. The man on the other end took my details and told me that he would get the depot to ring me straight back. By 2pm I had still not heard anything so rang again. This time I spoke to a woman who told me that there were no mobile battery fitters in my area (if I had read the reviews here I would have realised this as I live just outside of Oxford). I asked at what point they were planning on telling me this and she said they had had ...

Review of E tyres

Performance or endurance tyres

Advantages: Hard wearing and good value
Disadvantages: Not very good in wet.

...from my point of view toyo tyres are good for your money, but only in the dry. Wet weather driving with these tyres was like being on ice most of the time, because they are hard wearing I found them to be slippy and not much feed back from them during wet conditions. In the dry though they are great tyres got good heat into them and they did hold again feed back was not the best, but as in most cases you pay your money. These tyres are good for the ...
...ok. But if you happen to be a bit of a fast road user and go out when wet please be careful with these tyres. Now I know 99% of the people who read this will most likely not race there car or try and take a corner at high speed but only want a set of tyres that last long and are reliable, these are perfect for that, and your everyday commute or long drive to a summer break, of course all this is just my opinion and I am sure all of you will be able ...

Review of Toyo Tyres

SHOCKING SERVICE!

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Reliability of service

...that back at the office'. E tyres apologised and said it would be there first thing in the morning. I chased at lunch and they turned up in the afternoon. Spoke to E tyres who said they would reimburse the premium i paid for same day fitting, I Have since requested corrected invoices three times, still no sign so far. My own fault really, you do get what you pay for in this world. Lesson learnt pay a little extra and get a local reliable firm to ...

Review of E tyres

Toyo Proxes T1-R - You get what you pay for :)

Advantages: V shaped tread means excellent road handling in the wet. Good grip, well made tyres
Disadvantages: pricey

...can highly recommend the tyre to anyone. They aren’t cheap though, mine set me back £132 each. But this is the sort of brand built to last. They’re worth it, trust me. Note - there are a number of Toyo types. My review is for the Proxes T1-R ...
