Without wishing to knock our site sponsors, I'd suggest finding a local independant tyre company, i.e. not Kwik Fit or similar, and seeing what they can do for you. Over the last ten years or so, my local independant has consistently given me better prices than the usual 'specialsts' and fitting is included as standard. Darren

I'd agree with that. I went to the local tyre place in Brizzle and got a very good deal. This is for my D3 by the way. When I posted about the good deal I had AJS PM'd me to confirm the price as they couldn't get close.
So it's worth trying to support your local place. But to put it into balance, when I fitted MTR's to the D3 AJS were the cheapest by a long way 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

I use Ostles Tyres. They are in Scotland, but very good.
Last time I asked he was £139 fitted & balanced for BFG AT's on a Defender (std size) Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Micheldevers are a wholesalers and as such are suppliers to the trade. They buy in at such large quantities that their prices are so cheap. Queues half a mile long at weekends just to get through the gate. (Was last time I went a couple of years ago!) If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Still ringing in my ears...."Saturday is never a good day if you wish prompt service!" Have used their courrier service and got them fitted locally. Used to be £5 per tyre!

AJS are good on prices - but are a long way from where I live.
I have used Bracknell Tyre & Battery for many years - great prices (I think they may have been bought by Micheldever) I now drop in on my way to/from Heathrow when I'm flying for business. They're near Junction 10 of the M4 |

try black circles.com. They're usually cheap and have a network of fitting centres
