I see many forum members keep showing links to Errol's tyres for a good price ....
but
this is a "walk away with the raw tyre in your hands only"...no fitment...no balancing...no nitrogen...etc...you still have to go to a fitment centre to have them fitted/balanced/installed, which in our case costs R60 per tyre.
I recently had an inquiry w.r.t. some FALKEN tyres (our house brand) and was sent a PM of a "screen capture" off the Errol's tyres website, and initially I wondered how I was supposed to compete against those prices, until I did a "mock-transaction", that is when I discovered the "HIDDEN COSTS" for shipping...etc....and the fact that the tyres would be loose only without any fitment/labour etc.
In my "mock-transaction" the website added R190 odd extra for 2 tyres for shipping, ....with the shipping costs now added into the base price of the tyre it was now actually economically viable for us to do the deal at the same/similar price....but in our case we would fit and balance it as well.
In the case of FALKEN, we get our tyres delivered to our shop for free in any case...Yokohama/Pirelli/Michelin we collect from the respective warehouse.
Just saying
