yep too camskill.co.uk. Although I was not impressed with their shipping costs. On their website they quoted 7stg to ship to Ireland, I admit i was surprised with that but when the invoice came through i was charged 40stg without any notice of the change.

while talking to camskill fella I was told to consider Kumho KL71 as an alternative to Cooper STTs. Apparently supply of coopers in UK is patchy and not very reliable. They said kumhos are very popular mud tyres these days and they sell them a lot... I found number of positive opinions online, they also look fantastic and aggressive enough, kumhos suppose to be good on road and superb off road.....do you guys have any experience with kumhos kl71s at all?

Called Camskill today, they reckon they emailed me to say that from now on shipping of 4x4 tyres is now 10stg per tyre to Ireland, claims they only charged 7stg in total to my card which is a load of Censored since an additional 40 quid came off it.

I wont be using them again..

Sorry to hear that Adam. Rolling Eyes , I still would push the issue if the invoice from the site
said one figure and your CC statement says another .. .. they cant do that
with out making you aware of this prior to shipping and informing you (ie do you still want to proceed)

If this was not the case and you can prove it , (you have the invoice) get on to your CC company.
they can reverse the payment (stop hold) , they take this type of thing very seriously

You are in the right here.

no where on the site (as of 5 mins ago) do they mention anything about extra shipping charges.

i just tried a "mock" order and again it will come up as 7stg for shipping. I definately did not get an email stating an extra shipping charge and I am obessive about checking my junk email folder for things like that! Well, I am just going to put it down as experience because i really can do without the hassle of getting credit card companies involved and sending tyres back for the sake of 60 euro....still Censored annoying though!
