whats the deal with black circles?

[Jamesstone]

So my 172 needs some new front tyres.. comes around too quick ... i currently have 16" Turini's & would prefer to keep using the conti sports as they have done me well so far & was just gonna go around a few local garages but after using the trusty cliosport search button it seems a alot of you guys use black circles, so whats the story, having a read on there web site it looks like i buy my tyres then they get them sent to one of there approved fitter in my area, right? so how long does this take, i need new tyres this week ideally so if i ordered them tonight would they get them sent some where near me for fitting before the weekend?


Thanks,
James

Don't do the deal online, ring up and speak to an agent and make sure the tyres are in stock. I was told I'd have Paradas delivered to my door in Ireland in 4 days, which didn't arrive for a forthnight as after 7 days the order had only reached Black Circles.

Had I known this at the time of ordering I probably would have bought off Camskill. Would I use Black Circles again, yes, their customer service people were very helpful - just make sure the stock is there if you're in a hurry with the order.

In relation to fitting I picked up the phone and rang a few local places to get prices for fitting. Simple as that.

When i rang blackcircles, they were great to provide me 2 PE2's for a discounted price, but the approved tyre place that they recommended near to my home which would have fitted them within the cost matched blackcirlces price when I called them direct,
