Where is the cheapest place locally to buy tyres from? I need 2 new tyres and i know they wont be cheap to replace but need to find the cheapest place to buy them and have them fitted.

Anyone any suggestions??

We go to Empress Motors on Ellerbeck Road, they are resonably priced and have cheaper options too... If you want to give them a ring the number is 01254 236609

Ist left off Hyndburn Rd, when you leave the magic roundabout going towards Asda. Why go for cheapo's when your life could depend on them.

Have a look HERE 1st to get an idea on the price for the tyre sizes you want, I got two fitted to mine recently, shopped around a bit and found THESE give me the best deal, have used them a few times in the past too, places I compared prices with were - Baxenden - Ossy tyres - T. Blanks and the place that used to be the Greyhound pub at Church
PS - dont accept his 1st price, you can knock him down a bit

Yeah as Retlaw says DONT buy cheap tyres, buy good tyres at the best price you can find

I always thought that Tyre was an ancient city .... you know, Kipling wrote "and all our pomp of yesterday is one with Nineveh and Tyre" or somethinglike that

Cough they can be rather expensive. But when its just 4 tiny patches of them that are the difference between stopping in time or hitting that child. . . .

Tell me you would rather save a few quid then.

It is always painful paying for tyres - I used to get mine free

What size are you looking for emzy?

emzy · 08-07-2009, 20:00

I'm after 205/45/R16's

And the £40+ ones were the cheap cheap ones, which i don't really wanna buy. 95% of the time my kids are in the car with me, which is why i dont want part worn or remoulds, because of my childrens safety, wouldnt risk it over a few quid to be honest
