I've used mytyres.co.uk before and found their prices very competitive.

You can select 'fully fitted' as an option and they include that in the price. You then have to go the local garage that there are linked to (I think, I had a friend fit mine).

You could try: www.tyretraders.com They are quite local to me in the Midlands and I know one or two other members here use them too. They don’t always list everything on their site, so it might pay you to give them a call on: 0800 001 5118.

I presume you might also be able to choose a slightly different size if you want to go bigger or wider etc.? But I guess someone else might be able to advise you on the suitable sizes.

tyre traders are a good company a lot of their tyres are bought new directly from the like of goodyear/dunlop,continental and kumho and then discounted to you, I used to deliver to them for the above companies and in  many ways i could buy tyres cheaper from them then i could with an employee discount!

If funds allow go BRG M/T's..but for what I guess your type of use BFG's AT's  they can last 120K...

Go talk to your local tyre depot....just don't mix and match patterns


Hope its fuel for thought...
