Just been searching for a set of 7.50 x 16 Rangemasters for my Landy, Came across this company advertising at £88.80 each including VAT. Not sure about delivery.
www.camskill.co.uk Whitehaven Cumbria. Anyone beat that price please ?
What about these £293 for four,
X4 7.50 16 7.50R16 LT 8PR 114/112R HIFLY TRAL VAN 100 7.5016 TYRES *SET OF FOUR*
-
I think I paid about that from ATS, fitted and balanced!
-
Heard plenty of positive comments about camskill on other motoring groups, although not admittedly for land rovers. :cheers
-
As a company Camskill are very good, be careful as there is a delivery charge, per tyre, that can add significantly to the cost.
-
Yes Gres you’re right. They just told me £3.95 per tyre probably plus vat too.. Off to ATS tomorrow.
-
Camskill are a good company, bought from them before.

ATS want £108 each, so still looking.
-
Some of my local tyre shops will no longer fit tyres bought elsewhere
-
^^^^ A local family or "under the arches" type garage is what is required, rather than the chain franchises.
-
I think buying lose tyres is a false economy - unless you have the tyre fitting and balancing kit or a mate who can do it for you.
Save a few £s here and there and then spend time and £s taking them somewhere to have fitted and balanced (new tubes, new valves).
Not for me - I prefer the complete package. Drive in - coffee - drive out with new boots.
:RHD
-
^^^^ The compromise is an operation like Black Circle. "Chain" prices but fitted by your local garage.
The only problem is that the garage can limit how many slots they have if they are busy with other stuff, so not too hot if you NEED a tyre right now.
-
You'll save a lot of money buying a used set on rims, already balanced and ready to go. You then sell your worn out (but legal) ones to the unenlightened to start them on their educational journey, and get a chunk of the money back
(I've got some XZLs for sale! :whistle :-X)

Anyone got some worn tyres cheap on Forward Control rims :whistle
-
£88 plus £4 delivery plus a fitting charge at your local tyre fitter you wont be much different to ATS.
If you are not desperate wait until ATS have an offer on.

The local workshop I use for mots on all our cars fits tyres too, similar price to the chains but without all the annoying up selling of your brakes shocks etc etc need replacing urgently.
-
Just checked, I paid £84 each at ATS via one of their discount offers - back in December.
I think someone on the forum mentioned the discount day!
-
I have used Camskill usually the cheapest I can find for Rangemasters, new tubes from Richards and a mate with tyre fitting equipment does the rest.

Whilst a couple of years ago in Craddocks Black Friday sale I got some Avon Rangers 235/85 16 ATT, inc delivery and vat at £50 each, good offers do turn up in the end :first

I’m amazed they had them in stock🤣

Check out ATS discount club. One called Hero, for retired Police, Fire, etc... And the over 60's version. I qualify for both, but only one discount unfortunately. They will give you 15% off, Tyres, batteries and more. Special offer on Avon in August. So £108 less 15% fitted incl vat.
-
^^^^ Good to know, thanks !
-
Update that.... The Hero club is for current, not retired members of emergency services.
-
ATS also have a discount schemm for older people. I havent got my card to hand so I cant tell you what it is called but I am sure if you search their site the answer will be there.

Personally I'd pay the £15 extra to get them fitted, a right faff unless you have the right kit to hand.
-
^^^^^ 60,s club like wot I said. So £108 less vat = £90. £90 less 15% = £76.50. Plus vat = £91.8.
So fitted and no postage ATS cheapest of all.
-
Thanks Autorover.... so that’s double discount for me then :neener

Mate just informed me, He has bought a full tyre removal and balance set. Even better, he is just around the corner.

Aren't Black Circle prices inclusive of fitting at a nominated convenient tyre depot?

They were when I bought some
-
Link shows that is for loose, £104 fully fitted.
-
Perhaps I was thinking of when I bought from Tyre Shopper :stars
-
Any of you ex Forces?
The DDS card gets you discount in various tyre places (amongst many others)
Not ATS but it sounds like the have their own scheme.
I'm cheeky and ask for DDS discount whenever I can. The worst that can happen is if they say no. I've had discount in the strangest of places. Bath fudge shop, Crick narrowboat show, Halfords 10%

Does anyone know if the ATS over 60 discount is still running. Filled the online form twice in three weeks, received nothing. :stars
