Tyres online that are not linked to Delti ?
Discussion
All roads lead to Rome they said but in online tyres, nearly all tyre websites lead back to Delti one way or another.
I'd ordered 4 x Michelin Alpin 4 ZP in 245/50/R18 for an X3 (I know but the newer Alpins aren't available in this size) to replace some Sottozero 2s on dedicated winter rims and I got the "Amex not working" email, asking for a bank deposit. No can do because no protection so back and forth that went.
Then my local place missed the deadline and then had no stock. Then today Costco failed to have them available, despite booking well in advance and them checking with Michelin.
So if Costco doesn't come up trumps in the next 48 hours, I'll need another source and Camskill, Blackcircles and everyone else not connected to Delti I can think of has zero stock.
So what are the other honest options that are not linked to Delti ?

It might be trickier getting these in the UK due to the limited sell out.
Oponeo might be a plan b, or call the guys at lovetyres.com as I know they have access to plenty of european stock.
Cheers. I'll try lovetyresOponeo might be a plan b, or call the guys at lovetyres.com as I know they have access to plenty of european stock.
Oponeo have little or no winter stock when I've checked recently - it is a niche size really.
I don’t post but this time I had to… I ordered 4 Goodyear F1’s from 123tyres (Delti) for my other half’s TT on 9th. November 2021. I asked them to be delivered to my selected fitter. First only two were available, then shortly after 4 were to be delivered. Two turned up! They then had to be stored for a month while I was palmed off by various customs stories. Two tyres were due then they weren’t. They eventually turned up on 17th. December at 5pm! So all 4 were fitted to the car on 21st. December!!! Then I was advised that two more tyres were being delivered to the fitting address!!! They arrived on 22nd December. They are my responsibility so I picked them up and was advised by Delti they would be picked up from me today 29th between 8:00 and 17:00. Then the DPD driver complained he’d have to wait two minutes while I retrieved them from our garage! Have a guess what the moral of this story is…. I can’t believe I stayed calm whilst I wrote this. The decision is yours😊
Don't know if Tyreleader are part of Delti, but i've used them several times and only had one issue, they sent 4 tyres but one was the wrong size, but to be fair they sorted it very quickly and within 5 working days i'd got the full correct set.
The parcel company who picked up the wrong size managed to not return it but fortunately we still had the receipt from the parcel driver so TL presumably got their compensation.
Only downside to TL is that over the last 18 months their prices seem to have risen to match the rest so for normal tyre purchases Camskill are beating the europeans for online.
Having said all that, when we needed one new tyre quickly for daughter's car, the indy family workshop we use who also sells tyres quoted the same as i could find online without fitting for the specific tyre make/model we wanted, so maybe the tide has turned and its time to give your local indy a ring again and see what they can do.

Old thread regen alert, but it popped up and I just want to give my reason for avoiding anything Delti.
I bought 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S from AutoPink-Shop on the basis of their 2026 production year guarantee.
But 14 days later 2024 tyres arrive and APS don't answer the phone - at least not with a human and AI says no human available go to chat.
They acknowledge complaint in chat and no response. SO I send them a letter to the service address which is Delti. Recorded delivery shows it was received and no response. I go to Barclaycard and two months later a claim for mis-selling is still in progress.

Also now the thread has cropped up again.
I've never had any real issues with any of the online suppliers, one odd wrong tyre delivered in the set of 4 was soon rectified.
The Prius mk5 we recently bought has an unusual tyre size, i replaced the bloody awful OE Tesla style wheels immediately with something that didn't make my eyes bleed but kept OE sizes of wheels to which the OE tyres were fitted.
Looking around all the usual suppliers before buying the car they had either none at all or maybe one or two options.
It had been a long time since i'd looked at MyTyres (Delti) because they just weren't competing any more on price, but i looked and sure enough they showed a decent range including all seasons (no one else listed even 1) and full winters and at prices that were competing with Camskill who are usually the best...hopefully by the time i need tyres Vred will have included a Quatrac in my size.

All of these issues are the reason why for around a decade now, I have used asda tyres, they use your local network of fitting stations with online booking & (generally) very competitive pricing, at least that has been my experience of them anyway, others may differ.
Thanks, i just checked my size there and compared with MyTyres, incidentally the size is 195/60 x 17 90H.Kumho summer, not one i want but for comparison purposes...MT supply only £77.72 Asda fully fitted £89.99 very good price Asda offer £20 off for 4.
Yokohama all season (my choice presently)...MT supply only £74.73 Asda fully fitted £123.53 but with £20 off for 4.
