I wanted to order some tyres today and occasionally Black Circles have competitive mail order prices which once in a while can be a tough to match/beat with an independent only being a couple of quid out (and in some cases a bit cheaper).
Just before I placed an order with black circles today, I checked with my local independent and this is how the prices looked including VAT but excluding fitting for 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear.
Michelin Pilot PS4
Front £114 from both black circles and independent
Rear £162 blackcircles / £160 independent
Continental SC3
Front £173 black circles / £106 independent
Rear £173 blackcircles / £156 independent
Falken FK510
Front £151 blackcircles / £87 independent
Rear £151 blackcircles / £122 independent
I'm sticking with Michelin PS4's at the moment so whilst there's nothing in it on those the differences on the others are worth noting!
