Can anyone on here recommend what tyres are best for my Corsa and the best place to purchase them from ? I've looked on various online sites but I'm not sure what's best or how I know what size I need ? I googled Corsa forums and this site came up so thought someone might be able to help.

Its a 2003 1.2i 16V Corsa SXi

Size is on your current tyres, if they're standard C SXi it'll be a 185/55/15

Give this list a try -

I see your from livingston. I would use a place in broxburn called scot tyre, they will be cheaper than anywhere online, then just take them to a local garage to get them fitted.

Thanks Alan, I'll look them up! Are garages ok with fitting tyres when you've not purchased them from them ?

Yes, but they will charge you a lot for doing it.

Balancing, new valves and disposal of the old tyres.

if you order through blackcircles and arrange local fitting, then you wont get charged any extra, iv found its a fairly reasonable extra charge that blackcircles add on for fitting aswell
