Pallet, really cannot say yet, but base it on a standard euro pallet - 800 (w) x 1200mm (l) 8ish kg |

Well, I had a mini brainwave. As the wheels are all being delivered to James_335i's warehouse then why don't we attempt to setup a GB on tires to be delivered to this same warehouse. That way Camskill (or whoever) can just do 1 big delivery rather than lots of individual ones, there must be some cost savings for them there. We are all either collecting our wheels or having them delivered on a pallet from this warehouse, so it would be no difference to us, we would still get our wheels and tyres.
My assumptions are: 1) that the pallet delivery service would be ok having our tyres strapped to the top of the pallet 2) James_335i would be happy receiving the tyres and strapping them to our pallets 3) we can get is sorted and tyres delivered before our wheels arrive. 4) We Deffo need to sort James_335i out with some sort of reward for all his organisational arrangments |

For me they would have to be seriously cheap, when you consider a third party will charge £10 a tyre top fit and balance.

Unless you fit budget tyres that the 3rd party stocks in bucket loads. For more specialist tyres, sourcing your own does seem to be cheaper. Initially would be looking at Falken 452: Front: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...=m55b0s24p6228 Rear: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m55b0s341p6234 Or VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA: Front: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m55b0s24p12450 Rear: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...55b0s341p12459 I'm sure people could specify their own makes of preference aswell. Who'd be interested? |

No- they were an indy, I'll stick with Falkens again I think, I'm very pleased with them so far.

I know the majority are getting their tyres from camskill but I can't seem to find a tyre fitter by me(West Mids) who will fit customer supplied tyres. Does any one know where I can get them done in the midlands? |

Use Event Tyres - they'll come to you. I've used them many times and have been very impressed.

If not try and independent - they will fit your own tyres and are often more careful with your rims than the big high street outfits. I am lucky in having a part-worn tyre company in the unit to me next door. The owner is a car nut, owns an Aston and does loads of high performance tyres so knows how to treat your alloys properly. If you don't mind a trip to Stafford, he does em for £40 a set inc all balanced, etc... |
