Blackcircles.com Ltd offers UK motorists an easy way to buy tyres at competitive prices and have them fitted locally. Customers can choose their tyres online, whether its one of a range of top brand name car tyres, 4x4 tyres, or motorbike tyres, then have them fitted at one of over 900 Black Circles garages across the UK, at a time and day that suits.

With access to over 40,000 tyre items, Blackcircles.com current brand list includes Michelin tyres, Dunlop tyres, Continental tyres, Avon tyres, Vredestein tyres, Firestone tyres, Bridgestone tyres, Goodyear tyres, and Pirelli tyres. The website also features a comprehensive car tyres review section.

With rising fuel costs and concern over climate change, there has never been a better time for motorists to think about minimising the impact of fossil fuels on the environment. At Blackcircles.com we advise motorists to help cut fuel costs while reducing driving emissions by taking a few simple steps.

Keeping tyres inflated to the correct level can reduce fuel costs by 10 percent. Incorrect pressure levels will wear out tyres faster, use more petrol and create more emissions. Across the UK alone, drivers are wasting hundreds of millions of pounds on fuel, simply by failing to drive with their tyres inflated at the right pressure. This mistake also shortens the life of the tyre by an estimated 15 percent.

Between increased greenhouse gas emissions and inefficient disposal of tyres, a substantial and damaging impact is being made on the environment. By becoming an eco-friendly driver motorists can improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and be safer on the roads. Tyre safety is something we believe is very important to customers so we have a section on the website dedicated to tyre tests which guides customers into making an informed tyre choice.

Blackcircles.com actively supports projects to recycle worn tyres, where the end-of-life rubber tyre is used as the raw material for road re-surfacing, flooring, and even as a source of fuel. We are opposed to using landfills for tyre scrapping and believe in more environmentally friendly disposal methods. The manufacturers of the tyre brands we sell to our customers also support alternative tyre disposal and tyre recycling methods.

The great majority of our tyres are suitable for re-treading, which extends the lifespan of a typical tyre. Throughout the re-treading process, rubber raspings are recycled to produce granules for sports and playground surfaces. Raspings can also be reprocessed to create rubber crumb, which may be used as a raw material.
