I'm afraid I haven't used Giga Tyres but can thoroughly recommend Oponeo as an alternative.
I've used them a dozen times and they're really efficient, even when you need to return items. oponeo.co.uk |

+ 1 for Oponeo
Blackcircles aren't bad either plus they have fitting agreement in place with many local tyre fitters. Just choose wisely as some of these seem to resent you buying the tyres via tinternet and treat you accordingly  |

I just bought BFG all terrains from "tyres on the drive". They offered free fitting and were the cheapest I could find…great service too

OK. It's time to come clean.
I tried to order them from Giga Tyres.... got email saying my card authorisation failed (thats a first for me). Then got a message from my bank about strange activity and they were blocking transactions till I contacted them. Card unblocked and told the payment would not go through. Left it a day and nothing showing on credit card so re ordered from 4x4Tyres. All good these are arriving. The next day get an email from Giga Tyres saying that the payment had been authorised. Ring up within 10mins of email and cancel the order. Confirmation of cancellation then received. All good right. No. The following morning get an email saying they had already been shipped advising that as I had cancelled the order to refuse delivery. Still nothing showing on credit card. Courier who is delivering both sets of tyres has one delivery number and is delivering some out of each order if we refuseone we have to refuse them all (not going to happen I want my new tyres) The saga is ongoing as I now have 5 tyres in the dining room which are awaiting collection. And another three awaiting their other 2 ready for fitting. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper. Wide Track Sankey- In bits- Gone to a new home M0XQS |

I had a bad experience with Oponeo.......ordered 4 tyres only 3 turned up....were a nightmare to deal with, would not send me a replacement and would only refund me when 30 days were up. In the meantime I missed my test date as the tyres on the disco were past their best...
Camskill for me in future, have always had good service from them. |

I've give up trying to get tyres bought on line fitted at local places. The fitters don't like doing it, must be less money in it. Last pace wanted £15 a wheel which wiped out the saving. I now use Event Tyres, order on line, come and fit at my house at a time that suits me with decent prices. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I forgot to say that I wanted Cooper ST Maxx's and nowhere near me could get them. Hence ordering on line and then sorting fitting. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.

I uses these guys (as they're local to me) but they do delivery as well, have had 5 sets of tyres now and excellent service every time.
They only do 4x4 tyres and know their stuff http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JCS-4x4-Wheels-and-Tyres speak to Charles on 07505105027  |

I did phone them. They don't stock Cooper's but we're going to try and get them and call me back. Until you just mentioned them I had forgotten that they hadn't called. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.

Re JOW's question, using 4x4tyres.co.uk, I bought 5 x BFGs, very cheap and all fine.
