I came across www.tyreleader.co.uk today for the first time.
Now, I thought camskill were cheap, but these guys are ridiculous. I just bought 4x Uniroyal RainExpert 185/60 R14 for less than £135 delivered!
Certainly worth checking out if you're looking to buy new tyres.

That's a good price, iv got those on the back of my mx5 and they are decent.
Also I did a track day at keevil airfield couple of weeks ago, I did well over 100km on track in the afternoon session alone, I expected them to be destroyed but they only had minimal ware

Are you including delivery in that price? Delivery is free when you buy 2 or more from them, whereas on camskill I brlieve it's £2.99 per tyre?

Yep these are for my MX5 too  Everyone seems to recommend the Uniroyal RainExpert/RainSport for it. I was about to buy from Camskill (would have come to approx £155 delivered) when I stumbled across Tyre Leader in the google suggested sites on the sidebar.
£135 for 4 tyres is just ridiculous. Seemed too good to be true at first, then going off reviews it became apparent they're legit.

It's just been pointed out to me on an MX5 forum that the tyres I bought this morning for around £33 each have gone up to just over £40 on there. Seems like I got myself a bargain

Did credit you in the message I posted on Facebook
Just had a pair of Pilot Sports fitted today - £100 a tyre less than the retail price, but the guy who fitted them said he could do cheaper! I don't know why some of these tyre places think they can get away with sticking so much markup on things 
They ship from Germany so take a few days to turn up. Good thing is they use DPD so delivery is reliable and you can track it the whole way.

Avoid like the plague. These cunts took a month to get me my tyres. No number to call if you have problems just some shitty online messege bullshit. They are based in Germany and come from there too. Tyreleader.co.uk are wankers.

Thats a bit harsh considering we've all had great service. One bad experience does not make them wankers.
I'm sure I found a number for them whilst I was researching them also.

Not at all. You're telling me that if you had a bad experience with a company, but because everyone else's was good, you would go with the majority and advise to use them? Like fuck. My personal view is that the company are cunts and I will happily never use them again. Up to others if they choose to listen to my views. If you look on the site, they actually have reviews on there and there are a fair few that are bad ones.
I didn't find a number but they're still cunts

Got a message from the guys refurbishing my wheels, all done and tyres fitted So the tyres obviously showed up all right. Ordered them on Thursday but the tracking info hasn't updated so no idea how long it actually took for them to arrive.
