Web watch: we review what’s hot on the net

THIS website is automatically going to draw
comparisons with other online tyre providers.
They both deal with sorting out tyres in a
quick, hassle-free way and they both aim to
offer the cheapest prices.
The first noticeable difference is that Etyres
does not use a step-by-step process to help its
users find the tyres they want. But it does have
a promotional video starring former female rally
driver and TV presenter Penny Mallory.
The homepage is simple to navigate and a Flash
function explains what all those curious numbers
on the side of your tyres mean.
The homepage has a menu featuring all the
top-name tyre brands and a dropdown menu which
can be used to enter tyre details. Despite not
having a step-by-step process to ordering the
tyres, it was still easy and took about five
minutes to find a tyre and get to the final
purchase stage.Once customers have entered their
details to purchase their tyres, Etyres saves
them to make future purchases quicker.
Etyres.co.uk offers a similar, yet different
service to blackcircles.com.
They really are matched evenly in terms of web
design and ease of use. Cheapest doesn’t always
mean best, so it will be up to fleet managers to
decide whether tyres fitted at a garage is a
bigger incentive.
Large fleets can qualify for discounts. To find
out if they qualify, fleets can fill out an
enquiry form.
