I found a cheaper price for my tyres will you try and beat it?

How can you beat it?

Can I mix different brands of tyres on my car?
Yes you can mix different brands and tread patterns on your car as long as they match the same size specification of your existing tyres found on the sidewall.
What is the difference between budget, Mid-range and Premium Tyres?
Have you ever heard that saying 'you get what you pay for'? With the premium brands you are not just paying for name you are also investing in the millions of pounds worth of research and development these brands undertake. As a result of this you do get a better performing, more advanced and longer lasting tyre. However it is worth mentioning mid range tyres which are developed by the leading manufacturers using the same technology but with brand names you may not be so familiar with. These tyres are priced below the premium branded tyres but above the budget range and offer exceptional value for money. Some of the brands to look for are Roadstone, Kumho, Firestone, Toyo, Falken and Yokohama. As for budget tyres they will not offer the same level of high performance as our premium brands but they are still good quality and at affordable prices are well suited to low mileage urban drivers or motorists on a budget. We try an supply the right tyre for you and your needs. Unsure then give us a call 0800 622 6084
Why should I buy my new tyres from Tyre Shop?
At the Tyre Shop we believe the most important two things about buying tyres are the Price and the Service you receive. We as a company pride ourselves on both. So why not save a load of money and get your tyres fitted by one of our mobile units or just get the tyres delivered to your front door.
How do I know my tyres are illegal and need changed?
Most tyres have a tread wear indicator at intervals around the tyre that are set at 2mm the UK law states that your tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the centre three quarters of the tyre. If you can see that these little bars are level with the tread then its time for change.
What shall i do if i have changed my mind after my tyres have been delivered?
As long as the tyres have not been fitted to a vehicle and are in still new condition we will give you a full refund. If you return them within 7 days.
