I've bought my tyres from here over the last couple of years and book it in to get them fitted at a local garage:

Can save a few quid.

Yep, that’s what I do too, I find the cheapest price for a particular tyre online then get it delivered to a fitting centre, that way the fitting centre doesn’t have a mark up on the tyre.

Similar prices to Asda tyres so by the looks of it I'm only £15 of a difference at kwickfit (I think) the pain is the vans only done 3.5k.

what ever they have on the shelf for us , weather cheap , dear , or part worn , just get the vans out on the road were way to busy to worries about what Tyre go on them , buy the time my lot have mashed up and down kerbs , hit the kerb when changing the radio station ect ect they dont last long what or who ever makes them

for us it works out  rears last around a year , and fronts every 7/8 months on all vans mk7 transits last longer then the combos but i guess thats down to spinning up when pulling out of t junctions as the turbo lag on them 1.7 16v can be a pain until it cuts in and your off like red rum

You have radios in your vans? You'll be giving them heaters next!
It's a game of three halves!

For comparison sake £120 at Kwick fit and £114.86 at Black Circles https://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/continental/vanco-2/215/65/R16/R/109/m?tyre=11227078&gclid=CjwKCAiArK_fBRABEiwA0gOOc7pblzi1mHpJHsL1MzaULc3fEwD61eNqJk98rnlScsXgoMWkw5gVNxoCu74QAvD_BwE

 Where as the Hancook at Black Circles would have been £106.56 so a bigger markup for Kwickfit but if it's of lesser quality I'm none the wiser.

kwik fit seem expensive....the bridgestone potenza 225/40 r18 92y that ive got on my GOLF GTD are around £80 including fitting.they put these tyres on all sorts of performance cars.....

im lucky as im spoilt for choice for tyre fitting companies near me(3 in a 2 mile area)all of them independent businesses.....

IMO its worth getting decent tyres on any vehicle...its your only contact with the road so get some decent ones!

ive had a slow puncture on one of my golf tyres for the last week,the local young chap just around the corner from me sorted it for me for £15(nail in tyre)including balancing....cant argue with that...... :)
price higher/work harder!

you must do a lot of mileage to go through tyres that quick!i dont usually change mine for at least 3  years from new(unless its a bad puncture)

Try Costco - they do tyre fitting. You need to buy a membership card, (£24 or therabouts) and here in Birmingham you can buy mega-value groceries / diesel at the same time.
