Let's Face it we all need tyres GIVE ETYRES A GO

Advantages: They come to your door and more FREE Puncture repair too
Disadvantages: some areas are not covered by their service yet

...Hi All Let's face us we as British motorists get a pretty grim deal at the moment. In my view every penny I save when running my precious car is a very grateful penny saved. So how surprised have I been lately to find a tyre company who not only thinks of its customers first but also rewards them. "Whats the catch" I hear you all shout out. Well as yet I haven't discovered one. The Product. So what is this wonderful service? It's not new and it's not revolutionary but it certainly is good value for money. The company I refer to is Etyres an online home or work tyre replacement service. It actually does what it say's on the tin but in this case it dose it extremely well, the web site is both simple and informative. With in seconds after entering your tyre size and details you are taken to a list of every tyre available from...

Review of E tyres

E is for Excellent!

Advantages: Fast, Friendly and Great Value
Disadvantages: None I can Think Of!

....com. Etyres has a very organised very simple to use web page, which took very little reading and offered a 'No-Nonsense' service. Put simply-Choose the tyres and we will come to your address, next day and fit them, balance and suppy new caps-Brilliant I thought, all in one go and I dont even have to leave my house. SELECTING TYRES: This process was made incredibally simple, There is a short, fill in the boxes, style form taking the widths and ratings of the tyres required (the long number on the tyres) and then press submit. THE SELECTION: This page then appears giving all manner of tyres suitable for your vehicle, from 'Economy' no name tyres to very sporty, very expensive, racing tyres and everything inbetween. also included is a short descriptive of the tyre e.g. Good for rain/grip etc. THE COSTING: Simple Simple Simple!

Review of E tyres

A Truly Rubbery Experience

Advantages: Convenient service, excellent value, quick and efficient website
Disadvantages: Not all tyres are available; battery service is poor

...and promptly inform you that at least four of your tyres are completely illegal, the tracking's out and you need a battery before winter sets in. Even though it's only April. Before you know it you've spent over a thousand pounds and your mates in the pub are asking if you sent your blonde wife in on your behalf or whether you really are a complete halfwit. Better, then, to look at the online services that are available to you. Out of all of them, e-Tyres stands above the rest. It has a recognised brand, a pretty website and a good reputation. And the prices aren't too bad either. Ordering your tyres is easy and, because it's all done online, it means you don't have to deal with a pierced throwback from the nineteen fifties who wants to your empty your bank account. To purchase your rubber, all you have to do is visit the very neat...

Review of E tyres

Odyssey's path tyre.

Advantages: durable value for money good quality
Disadvantages: dirty sidewalls on tanwall version. thread can wear down

...BMX seems to me be overpriced but in comparison to other tyre products available in BMX stores/sites. I would say this is good value for money and that the tyre should last you a long time. I do recomend searching eBay for a cheaper price though, i managed to pick one up for £8.00 which is in very good condition and the same as my other odyssey tyre that i paid £21.00 for in a store. Another thing to mention is that the tan wall versions can get awfully mucky and dirty on the side so if clean looking bikes is your thing, it might be something to think about....

Review of Odyssey Path Dual PlyTyre

Pirelli, the tyres from the Calendar people . .

Advantages: Very good grip when you need it.
Disadvantages: Just the cost.

...I you shop around, at local tyre fitters as well as on the internet, you will find that there are many places selling bargain tyres, but you must pay for delivery, and fitting, and balancing, Oh and the new valve, then there is the charge for disposing of your old tyres. I decided this saving just wasn't worth the hassle. I therefore went to my local tyre fitting centre. My tyre expert is worth his weight in gold, and he runs his hand across the tread before doing anything else. He then knows if the steering geometry is wrong, in some cases it can save premature wear on your tyres, and can save the customer a fortune, never mind affecting safety. If you want to visit the Pirelli website, take a look see here:- http://www.pirelli.co.uk/web/default.page New tyres need to be run in, and then checked as often as you can...

Review of Pirelli Tyres

Tyred of paying high prices...

Advantages: Quick efficient service and a good price too
Disadvantages: None spring to mind

...tyres on board and change my tyres for me at my home. I decided to book an appointment and go to the local Kwik Fit 13 miles away. I followed the simple to use instructions on line, selected my appointment time, selected the tyres (with the husband's help I ruefully have to say. It gave three tyre options for my car and I didn't know the difference, except the difference in price and name. I'm not convinced my husband did either despite his protestations to the contrary, but that's another story, lol!) I paid for the tyres in the same on line process and that was it, done! AND it was £440 - £88 cheaper than ATS! I received an e-mail receipt and confirmation of my booking and took the receipt to Kwik Fit at my appointment time the next day. My car was immediately taken in at the appointment time and half an hour later it was all...

Review of Kwik-Fit Tyre & Exhaust Centres

Performance or endurance tyres

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

...I come from a racing background, with owning and racing many performance cars such as Supra, Skyline, Gto etc, I can say 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 price you pay and for everyday road use again are 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...

Review of Toyo Tyres

Toyo Tyres

Advantages: great tyres
Disadvantages: Hard to find

...Toyo are a Japanese Tyre manufacturer that not many people have heard of. Yet to me they are the most sexy looking tyre around, if tyres can be sexy! I mean the tread pattern of course! I had toyos all around on my RS Turbo. The grip level was unreal and the depth of tread great. The tyres on my Tub were standard size 195/50/15's and a tyre that low in profile normally loses a lot of its tread in order to cater for the profile. Not the Toyo. It has a very wide tread pattern. Making a lot of contact with the road while giving it enough play to movce around and keep you stuck down. In the wet, the wide tread allowed the car to tip toe through the water rather than slip and slide through it. They dont just cater for quick cars. You can pick up a nice tyre for your family saloon or hatchback too. The range seems to grow...

Review of Toyo Tyres

Michelin Tyres

Advantages: Well known brand
Disadvantages: Go out of shape.

...Over the years, I reckon I have had most makes and brands attached to my car. From this I have been able to be more picky and choosey when buying my new tyres. I now know whats good, whats bad and what is worth avoiding. Michelin boast being one of the 2 tyre suppliers to the Formula 1 world championship. Yet it fails to pass its lessons leared from the track to the consumer. As much praise as people want to heap on the French Tyre giant, Michelin have always failed to meet my expectations. I have had these tyres twice. Once through coming with my new car and once through buying them as a replacement. When we had our new Ford Escort, it came with Michellin XT all around. 175/70/13's were the size we had. Soon we were experiencing problems with ride quality, particularly under braking or at high speeds. After several...

Review of Michelin Tyres

Great experience

Advantages: Cheaper, no waiting around, no up-selling
Disadvantages: No old, oil-stained magazines to read while waiting

...I've just bought four new tyres for my wife's Micra and, rather than spend an hour in a cold and cheerless tyre centre waiting room, I found e-Tyres on the interweb. This is a service which comes to you and fits the rubber where it's convenient to you - at home or work or wherever. I found the prices were competitive (and quoted all-in, with balancing, valves and fitting, rather than all those vital things being seen as "extras", which I like). There's a good range of tyres available, from budget brands to high performance, and one phone call sorted it all out - although you can book directly through the website, too. I was sent a confirmation email, and the local e-Tyres franchise chap rang me to confirm a time to do the job. The next day a big white van arrived on time, the bloke did the job in about 50...
