Any suggestions on good web stores for tyres?

www.mytyres.co.uk
www.etyres.co.uk
www.blackcircles.com
www.blackboots.co.uk
www.event-tyres.co.uk
www.camskill.co.uk (and then source local fitting)

Thanks a lot, highly appreciated
Seems like most of these companies are for UK customers and include fitting (except camskill and eBay).
I´m primarily looking for web stores that sell tyres without fitting and deliver to Sweden.

For normal road tyres, you're probably best off trying to find a local (to you) supplier. I would imagine shipping from a UK based company would probably make the cost prohibitive (and many probably won't be set up to handle exporting them).

Camskill might be worth a try for more specialised rubber, though.

Edit to say: Most Uk internet suppliers will quote either mail order or fully fitted prices. They use local depots to do the fitting if that's what the customer specifies.

The price level in the UK is generally lower compared to Swedish prices (this goes for many different products, not just tyres) and the shipping costs from the UK to Sweden are usually pretty reasonable.

I've been trying to find UK web stores that deliver to Sweden but the most common seems to be that the prices include fitting.

KUMHO KU31 ECSTA SPORT 215/55R16 97W XL TL at £66.70 each from Camskill seems like a fair price

Anyone who has experience with this tire fitted to an Omega?

66 euro here.

Don't know about postage

My mistake. Was looking at ones with lower speed ratng. Sorry.
But German sites might be worth a look. Postage is normally reasonable

[Thingymabob]

Yeah, I buy a lot from German web stores as well.
Price level is often good but sometimes it is hard to find companies that deliver to Sweden (quite often delivering just to Germany and Austria).
Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll keep on searching
Do you by chance know of any other good German tyre web store?

Afriad I don't as I buy mine locally. But if I stumble across anything I'll post it up.

I know, I live to far away from the UK...

KU31s in 17" are pretty good IME. Wear rate not the lowest and not a great deal of feedback in the handling stakes but decent level of grip in wet and dry and reasonably quiet.

[Thingymabob]

The KU31's seems to be a good compromise. Actually I'm choosing between these and
Hankook K115 Ventus Prime 2, can't make my mind up which is the better choice
