False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Not thought about that..... can you buy good tyres online these days? Any recommendations on where?
How do you get them fitted/balanced (I assume you aren't equipped for that yourself). Will a garage do that for you if you just roll up with new tyres in the boot?

Blackcircles.com seems to cover all the varieties and you book them online to be fitted locally.
Never used them so can't speak for service.

Most of the chains will fit them on the side for cash although if the boss is looming over them not as they much prefer to sell their overpriced ones to fit themselves. Local garages will generally fit, valve and balance at about £10 a corner which still makes a good saving. I bought Uniroyal Rain expert 195/60R15's which were well reviewed for about £35 (+£3 p&p) from Camskill.
