Having done a search I can see from the few previous threads I have found relating to Blackcircles.com that people are favourable about their delivery times and prices but has anyone ever used their fitting service? I see they send you to one of their approved garages.

I'm in the Oxford/Reading area and have a slow leak (I presume a puncture) on the front left and want a like for like replacement of the Pirelli Eufori 205/45V17. Blackcircles show £120.99 for one fully fitted. Has anyone used any of the garages on their list in my area?

Many thanks.

Never used blackcircle

I have used Event Tyres - they come to you.

Good service and price.

This doesn't answer your question as such, but you can get Pirelli Euforia 205/45-17 from tyreshopper.co.uk for £120 exactly. Fully fitted at National tyre centres, with everything arranged through the tyreshopper website. If that's any use to you.

Thanks guys, I'm looking at getting mine replaced next weekend, are both of the companies you mentioned competent with runflats in your experience? I've heard many differing reports about different companies from people on here. The idea of mobile fitting does sound appealing if they have all of the necessary equipment to do a good job, with the fitting, balencing, etc. You may be able to tell I don't know much about the process!

I've used Blackcircles fitting service, but not in your area. As you say it's a local tyre fitting business they send you to so I guess the service quality is dependent on the place - I'm sure they vet the fitters though and I was far happier with the family run place I was sent to than I would have been with a Kwik Fit or similar.

You shouldn't have any problems using National tyres.

I've used blackcircles on previous cars and had 2 good experiences of their fitting centres (which are just local fitters to you off their list) and 1 bad where I was low on the pecking order at the fitters because I didn't buy the tyre through the fitters direct.

If I were you I'd buy this one off ebay (offer them £99 inc delivery) then go to a local tyre fitter with a good rep and pay £10 to get it fitted and save some coin.

Tried booking Event Tyres tonight for £120.44 inclusive mostly because I liked the fact they came to me and not vice versa. Plus the recommendation of course.

Guess I will find out tomorrow if they can make my requested date and will report back my experience.

Many thanks for all your help guys.

Had Event Tyres visit me today and received a very fast, courteous and professional service. Took about ten minutes to do the whole job, single tyre change, and they even came back after I missed their first calls on their arrival due to me falling asleep and them having to give up on me. Excellent service, highly recommended, cheap too!
