Aberdeen (shire) tyres

[Nick Shepherd]

Anyone have any recommendations for tyres in or around Aberdeen?

I generally use Costco, they are offering 31x10.5R15 BFG ATs for about £125 fitted which seems pretty reasonable. The tyres can be had for less from Camskill but then I'd have to pay for fitting. So if anyone knows of a tyre fitter that charges less than £16 a tyre and does a very good job...

I also need soem tyres swapping around on the 16" rims for my 60, KM2s taken off the OEM rims and fitted to some aftermarket modulars and some ATs fitted to the OEM rims so I can sell the 60 and keep my KM2s for use on the 80.

I've seen that Laws are one to avoid but are there any who stand out for excellent service and value?

ive used Tawse Tyres in past (Inverurie) and they seemed ok - biggish setup, like Quickfit, but family business rather than big chain - got a set BFG AT 31x10.5x15 from them 5yrs ago for the 4runner (now sold on to a mate).

and got my 4 General Grabber AT2 from them 2 yrs ago.


only other tyre place i have used is Donside tyres (Alford) - smaller place, but efficient and friendly, got a 5th GG AT2 from them to replace the worn road tyre spare on back.

There was also a retired chap near Rothienorman who specialised in 4x4 tyres and fitting, and charged me about £5 a corner to fit and balance 4x snowtyres i had bought elsewhere
he also sells 4x4 tyres - when ive remembered his name and contact details i will add a note here
