my x5 needs new tyres

Post by jack-robson » Thu Sep 12, 2013 4:40 pm

My X5 tyres are bald and I have been advised I need to replace them. Can anyone please recommend a site where I can buy tyres from due to being a family man I am unable to go to my nearest tyre supply company. All recommendations will be much appreciated.

Blackcircles?
eTyres?

Or try googling mobile tyre fitters in your area.  Prices will vary quite widely and there are lots of tyre options depending upon your budget.  Michelin Diamaris are OEM, but folks here have fitted Vredestein, Sessanta, Nankang, Dunlop etc etc.

Hey everyone thanks for the recommendations, I have looked around and found this site  called tyres247 and got them from there just because they are cheap, simple to use and go the extra mile to make sure the job is done. I highly recommend them. tyres247

I have to say this doesn't at all feel like a cleverly placed advertising ploy only two posts in....should this be reported?

From a serious point of view I am looking at Toyos for my newly bought 01 4.4i having read a few reviews, anyone here using them?

This thread has come to my attention with a suggestion you may be spamming.

1.  Many have driven on worn tyres at some point but arguably a decent "family man" would not chose to run a car at this time of year on bald tyres before replacing same.

2.  You don't mention what make/type/size tyres you got or the cost.

3.  Considering your busy "family man" stance I am unconvinced you were sorted within the timescale.

4.  Regardless of the above - Your endorsement reads like a cheesy marketing attempt.

Fwiw I searched the site you linked using another computer : Useless - My 19 inch tyres not even listed !

I have seen other posts on other forums with links to the same company. F.w.i.w. most will avoid using a company that allegedly spams for business....Oh & if you are spamming I sincerely hope the business does not do well.

Link has been removed - Please clarify the above issues quickly if keen to avoid a ban !
