Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. A search gives me lots of hits to buy tyres/tires on-line. But I would appreciate recommendations from EFers of companies that deliver what’s on the tin without customs/boarder issues. I’d prefer to buy from CH, but wouldn’t turn down a bargain. Apparently 1 March is the beginning of meteorological Spring* and temps forecast to be +6 or higher from now. *I had to search for it. |

Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. Thanks fmf, I note that that site redirects to 123pnues.ch I’ve got a 16+ year old Yaris. Need summer tyres but don’t want to break the bank, particularly when the tires will likely be more valuable than the car. |

Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. I bought my summer tires last year from reifen-pneus24.ch. Very good prices, Swiss VAT paid ( so no additional charges ) and quick delivery. |

I don't think they deliver though, if that's your primary concern. |

Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. Another vote for reifendirekt.ch - I've used them for all my tyres since in CH, always delivered factory fresh within the stated time. |
Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. Have a look at Ricardo. I bought brand new winter tyres + wheels for my Audi on Ricardo. The seller changed the tyres just before buying a new car and found out the wheels didn't fit on the new car. There are always such cases on the market. As I could also sell the old wheels, I had a new set of Dunlops for 100 CHF:) |
Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. most of these suppliers are actually same company as reifendirekt based in hamburg germany. it's pretty terrible when anything goes wrong. i've on a few occasions had unexpected large delays, or unexplained extra tyres they have delivered and then tried to sue me for not returning. I had one 500 CHF tyre sitting here for over a year before they finally sent DPD to collect it. i've settled on pneuexperte.ch (which is a different german company behind the scenes) as my go to source. they seem to have good prices, a reasonable selection and seem to work. one thing to note with all online suppliers is they have no control over the date code of the tyre. i won't accept any date codes over a year old. sometimes you get tyres that are older and there is some german law that says anything up to 3 years old is considered 'brand new'. in this case, you just need to return them and order them locally or from somewhere else. |

Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. Yeah, the Great Wall tyres are extremely reliable, I've been told... :eek: |
Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. Quote:
They are same as reifendirect.ch but sometimes even cheaper. If you use them I have a CHF 5.00 off offer that you could use. |

Do be careful in going for the absolute cheapest tires or they very well may outlive the car! You need tires that allow you to stop on both dry and wet roads if you are hoping to do 10k km per year without an accident. Yes, you do not need the highest performance tires but a lesser know brand or model from one of the major companies for about CHF 55.- per tire should be possible assuming 14 inch tires. |

Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. I agree that it's a bit silly to forego on tyres, especially when quality tyres for this car are not going to be expensive. I just checked and for between CHF50-60 you can choose between Pirelli, Continental and Goodyear. Why wouldn't you? |
Re: Tires/tyres online. Need recommendation. Quote:
A few years ago I had some slightly more expensive Continental winters, without doing enough checks. They were crap - very noisy and still didn't seem to give much grip (which is subjective since I didn't have a significant adverse event, but they felt wrong on cornering and braking). |
