I've used mytyres before, and they're great. They were the cheapest I could findYou could always go to your nearest part worn supplier, my local one does them for around £20 a corner and they're usually top brands too.

I too have used mytyres before, they were excellent. As BenzBoy already said check your local tyre blokey for part worns, you can get some pretty damn good rubber for 20 notes.

I've bought online - price and availability were great but it took chuffing ages for them to arrive. I can't remember who the supplier was, I think it was black circles. Check how long they'll take to post them  |

I've bought tyres off eBay before, sometimes new, sometimes part-worn - they've always been delivered quickly.
There are back street types who can still sell you part-worns, I got a pair for my Primera for £30 inc. fitting and balancing - they were pretty much as new.

Mytyres are good, but their couriers aren't. I ordered a set of four and only two turned up - the other two had 'disappeared' in Birmingham. They sent out another pair but it ended up taking over two weeks altogether, which was a pain because I couldn't use the car (I couldn't find anywhere else selling that size). I'd probably use them again though, so long as I've got somewhere that'll fit them for a reasonable price. |

I think mytyres ship from Germany. Certainly the ones I got had German delivery labels on them. Can't remember how long it took to get them but I don't think it was that long. Fitting them became a problem as all the chain places only fit their own tyres  . I used a small independent place that was happy to do it for a tenner. I'm sure most scrapyards have tyre fitting machines too, I bet they'd be cheaper too! |
