Good luck Jules. These days and for a number of years following indescribably abysmal service from a Formula 1 sort of autocentre, I buy car and caravan tyres from Camskill and take them to our local one man tyre fitting yard. One exception was in 2021 when I had Kwikfit come to the house and fit a set of Goodyear Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 which are still in very good order and I remain pleased with. |

I made a formal complaint about the dire communication between BC and Mr Tyre. BC are all apologetic.

Glad you got there. Now was the savings worth all the hassle? When I had an issue with BC, I decided it just wasn't worth my time to save a few £ per tyre. My those tyres give you many thousands of miles of trouble free service. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

When I need tyres I just phone round all the local tyre firms tell them what I wan't (always go for BF Goodrich) see who has them or can get them and go for the best deal, usually its my nearest one in Sandhurst which is part of The Micheldever tyre network that has the best deal and their reputation is very good, checked my tracking and did not charge me when I had four fitted few yrs ago. 2013 FL2 XS.

There was a 10% saving on the Michelin which meant they were cheaper (just) than the GY Wrangler. I also wanted a 4 wheel alignment which not all tyre centres provide. But I doubt I'll be using BC or that tyre centre again. Interestingly, the boss at the Mr Tyre centre said he uses Asda tyres. I would have gone there had it not been for the Michelin offer with BC.

Glad its sorted - I gave up on Mr Tyre a little while ago after us as a family having used them since the 80's. Similar reasons to your issues!

I would just like to finish off this thread by saying these new tyres have made a huge difference - the car is now so much quieter. Coming up the M6 today was almost pleasurable.

Had a phone call from Black Circles - they wanted to know the details of my complaint.
