Anyone recommend a good online tyre supply company that will deliver?

I want to price some Bridgestone D694 tyres for my 120. From the searching I've done it seems that there are not that many. My usual dealer here can supply and fit for £150 each. (Yes, I know, they are a bit expensive but the Grabber AW I have seem to be discontinued).

Ta muchly.

I have found that different brands and even different sizes can be cheaper at one place than another.

I have used both

http://www.camskill.co.uk/ and

http://www.paddockspares.com/

in the last 12 months without a problem.

These http://www.blackcircles.com/ either deliver or take them to your nearest fitting centre.
Tend to work out a little cheaper than a dedicated tyre place.

Event Tyres did a great job for me - pitched up at my house when they said they would and fitted & balanced the tyres!

I don't know whether they stock the Bridgestones though! Nice choice of tyre thumbright

they seem to be under-rated here but popular in South Africa and Aus.

Cheers,

I've used event tyres and camskill in the last 6 months and they were both very good. Having event tyres turn up and fit them is nice if they have what you're after.

Thanks for the input folks, but not one of those listed does the Bridgestones I am pricing. Shocked

There are several other alternatives on there though. Food for thought.

West Coast at Banks, near Southport, are PDG, too and do springs and shockers as well.

Hmmm... Event-tyres have just qouted £482 for 5 Cooper Discoverer STT's 265/75/16 all inclusive.

Very very tempting.

(They are quoting £125 ea for the DUELER D694 in my area.)
