Just ordered and paid online from above tyre company. 4 Michelin agilis camping tyres to be fitted at my house .£410 inclusive.. I think that's a great price but I am sure knowing how these threads go someone will have a better deal. Lol. Sitting back and waiting .Roy

That is a very good price indeed for fitted tyres. Good result (y)


Hope the fitter uses metal valve stems - worth a check.....

Yes sounds great but I have been ripped of by them so often I will never darken their doors again nor will many others I know
I have used Kwik fit for many years never had a problem with their prices .nearly always cheaper or very near . National tyres are the ones I almost tried till I saw all the additional costs .made each tyre £40 dearer than Kwik fit.

Will no longer use the Mich's.. Too noisy and pathetic grip in anything but perfect conditions.

I got a similar deal in January. Very pleasant, professional fitter.
On our previous van we had Tyron bands and, subsequently, a set of tyres, fitted by Kwik Fit Mobile and both were very good.

I've had dubious service from Kwik Fit depots in the past (quite a few years ago) but can't fault my three experiences of their mobile service and prices.

Yes I could have got van tyres very cheap as well but I wanted the proper ones for motorhome.
May I be cheeky and ask why , and what makes a motorhome tyre different of van tyres ? ( other than the price, the noise and the poor grip that is LOL !! )

I recently had 2 continental vanco camper tyres fitted. Supplied by Asda and fitted at a local garage for £112 each. Kwik fit were cheaper but were further to travel so it was more or less the same. I did enquire about the fitting of new metal valves but they did not have any and were not prepared to source any either. I bought 2 bolt on valves off E bay for £5 each. I have tyre pal sensors fitted and the valves were about 5mm shorter in the metal screw on part but the sensors refitted ok. I had contacted a number of garages and not one had any metal valves.
Just a note on Kwik Fit. In the fitted price list they charge £4.50 for a standard rubber valve. If you supply the metal valves ask if they will reduce the price by the same amount.

May I just state that the reason I bought these tyres at the price I did is because. (1) they will be fitted at home , (2) i don't have to drive anywhere to have them fitted .(3) the price was good .(4) I wanted camper tyres not van tyres .(5) Michelin agilis tyres are not as noisy as van tyres on my motorhome. .(6) always had good service from Kwik fit . (7) don't need extreme grip tyres as not used in those conditions.. ..Roy

Mine are the same size and they've actually gone down in price a bit. I just checked and I paid £435.92 in January.

Have to disagree with this. My Michelins are quieter and have brilliant grip compared with my previous Continentals
