ATS Euromaster - Big sale

[davehedgehog31]

ATS Euromaster announced that they'll be winding up their UK operations. A shame, as the one near me are one of the better fast fit tyre places in the area. It has however resulted in quite a big sale, there are some mega cheap ditchfinders along with some premium tyres with big reductions. A few examples in the 205/55 r16 size below.

Basically anything with the red banner is 50% off the tyre, fitting remains full price. Discount calculated at checkout.

I'm sure those Yartu things will be abhorrent, but for £34 fitted they might get a snotter through a test. The Continentals seem the standout buy at £65 a corner fitted, they're over £100 on black circles.

In my experience they'll refund you the disposal fee if you want to keep your tyres and dispose of them yourself in a local watercourse or beauty spot.

Hmmm, I wonder if they're selling off tyre machines too?

My Riviera needs new rear tyres but without MOT I can't just pop over to have them installed. I can't see an option for tyres without fitting either...

No mobile fitting option?

They may just sell you the tyres if you ring up.

Not got any axle stands and a jack? Just take the wheels off and take them to your local ATS?

[scooobydont]

Brilliant heads up, thanks for posting it up, just pinged this off to everyone I know (all 2 of them...)

Yeah, that would be an option. Looking at the selection of 215/65/R15 tyres they have though (mostly van tyres), I'm probably better off just buying a pair of cheap car tyre from blackcircles as they'll only cost 20 quid more incl. fitting.

Someone should be able to get a good deal out of this one though!

[Kringle]

Mega thanks Mr @davehedgehog31, I've booked in to get all four changed and I'll keep my part works as spares for further down the road.

[Dave_Q]

I got a discount on an Aircon regas (£103 for R1237) but didn't know it was because they are closing down, great tip.

[Dave_Q]

Fucking hell, £70 fitted for 2 Yartu ditchfinders on the Zoe, you can't get partworns for that

[cms206]

Yartu are made by the same people who gave us the highly regarded premium tyre brands of Goodride and Westlake.

 

Clearly a name you can trust.

[EyesWeldedShut]

Another thank you to @davehedgehog31 - full set booked for the SLK - thank ye kindly sir

ATS used to be the best tyre place in Stranraer when I was learning to drive - but that was 1980.

[High Jetter]

Our local branch closed suddenly last year, maybe this has been on the cards for a while.

[beko1987]

Tis times like this im glad ive been stashing money away with my mum because I dont trust myself to not spend it 😂

My fronts are maybe a month away from the wear markers, and are winter tyres which have been slipping on a few junctions here and there (which makes for nice little tests of the clutch!)

I'm sure these are a reputable brand somewhere

 

Cheapest other things are

for the pair

 

Thanks for the heads up! Popping to ATS Cowley on Weds. That's where I went for a windscreen once too, that's going to be a pain to have a huge network of insurance windscreen changers gone 😬

And I can say I flipped the coin againt the cost of tyres going up over the summer with the oil shit going on...

[sierraman]

I could do with one for the Focus but I’m out of the country for another week or so, they’ll have gone bust by then. 😂

Yep. I'm not going until Wednesday, and it went right into April at Oxford and Heathrow but Bourne End went away mid April on the calendar. 

I wonder if their shutting the smaller ones first and when the date picker stops their gone 😢 Oxford and Heathrow are probably quite big in comparison

I suppose if you credit card it and they fall flat in the interim you are covered.

Didn't think of that 😂😬 Hope they last until Wednesday afternoon 🤞🤞 

[Dave_Q]

Last day of trading is end of April but the viable branches are being sold.

TF..... 😯🫣

Wallsend is going over to F1 👍

Ah well...

🚙💨

[sierraman]

Could shod the Focus out in a full set of tyres for £136. That’s cheap! 

[IronStar]

I have Westlake ZuperEco on 607. Recent, 25 or 24 DOT on them. Don’t. Just don’t. Hopeless. 

[sierraman]

Depends what you are fitting it to. The wife does 2 miles to work and 2 back. They perish before she wears them out. If I was pounding 20,000 a year on the motorway it’d be the Michelins no doubt. 

[fatmanblue]

Thanks for the tip-off.

ATS have been my tyre place of choice for some years now, shame to see them go.

Booked new boots all round for the Berlingo next week, £155.

You don’t need to do 20k/year to skid into a ditch/wall/another car or for them to feel plain unsafe. Maybe you don’t need Michelins, but you most definitely don’t want ZuperEco either. Something mid-range like Kumho is not all that more expensive in the grand scheme of things.

I’ve a pair of Westlakes on the front at the moment, they’re alright I suppose. But you can only piss with the cock you’ve got, the Michelins are £300. For the miles/use the wife does they’re ok.

Looking at Euromaster website, you can get a pair of Tigar High Performance for not much more, which whilst not amazing, are not even in the same category as ZuperEco. Tigar is made here, so I drove plenty of cars on them, including my own, speaking from first hand experience.

The ex did 10k+ on a set of Westlakes on the front of her meriva A 1.6 and didn't die (sadly) Then a set of Supersport chasers which went with the car when sold half worn

I've done 20k+ on part worns in the past too and didn't die but the math's doesn't math's on those anymore when new ones are so cheap*

 

*I could use that excuse when a set of 15" National tyre specials were £38 each fitted on my old xsara. Did 15k and 4 years (fucking pattern here...) on the fronts before they wore the inners out (pre existing issue I didn't know about) with no issue with them either 🤷 When they needed replacing an identical set was £70 fitted 😢

The xsara was faster than the qashqai too so I'll be safer now in my boring dad wagon 👌

I was really impressed with the Westlake all seasons I had on my 5 series, got me up some pretty slippery hills when it snowed earlier this year. I'm a certified tyre snob but that did change my mind a bit
