“I ordered 4 tyres of the tyre leader website, then discovered that my money had gone to an international company. So I looked up the reviews and thought I'd been stupid not to check first! Nothing but bad reviews! Damn what an idiot I was.
Ordered on the Friday, had a couple of emails from Tyre leader just to say the usual tyres were due to be dispatched.
I couldn't believe my eyes when Tuffnells arrived on Monday with all four tyres! There they were, direct from Nangkang!
I guess I'm the luckiest guy ever because the reviews suggested I had no hope of seeing these tyres and a long battle ahead to get a refund.
So. Would I use this company again? Not a chance. I'll take my luck and try somewhere else next time. I have to say though, for me, the transaction was as smooth as a could be. Thank you.”
“Placed 4 orders over the years 3 for tyres and one for alloys, always arrive within 5 working days. Never had any issues so I've not had to contact them.”
“It was actually tyreleader.ie Doesn't really matter, it's the same site. Ordered Monday, delivered Friday morning. €200 saving on 4 tyres. Could not be happier with the tracking(got the track link on Thursday, day 4) and service. Would highly recommend and will definitely use them again.”
“I read the reviews after buying 4 tyres from this company and immediately thought I had messed up big time, but this morning 5 days after ordering, the tyres have arrived. 2 days after purchase I received a tracking number for DPD, this informed me the tyres were in Holland, the day after the were in Sheffield and they were delivered the following date, smooth as clockwork. So in my experience brilliant and saved me over £100 on my 4 tyres.”
“Their price for the tyres are the best around, but don't even think about to ask anything else because they got so many filters to avoid direct contact that you will loose the will to carry on.
Better customer service is required.”
“I bought 4 wheels (a complect/set) of MAM A4 R16 KBA 49110 wheels at riepulideris.lv – tyreleader.ie for my brand new car that I wanted to use as an winter wheel set. I got wheels MAM A4 fitted with new tyres (Sailun), got them balanced and fited on a brand new car. Unfortunatelly as it turned out one of the wheels made car vibrate, because it is defected - it vobles massively from side to side in "8" and has a height diferences from center.
Tyreleeder refused to change the damaged wheel. Asked me for a 35€ deposit if I send the wheel back to them, which by it self would not be a problem. The only option provided by Tyreleader customer service was a refund for only one wheel, which was not an option, I ordered a 4 wheel set (and it is not possible to order additional wheel in Tyreleader any more with same parametres). Besides when I asked to speak with higher manager to solve the problem the respons was, this is the last time we respond to you. The only option to contact customer service is to write to them through their website and they can ansver after a day or a week or not answer at all - which is what they did and are still doing. There is no phone number, no nothing - the worst customer service in the world.
I will write reviews in other sites where it is possible to attach printscreens with tyreleaders customer service response.
P.s. tyreleader responded to my previous review in french! Really! I am writing in english and somehiw it seems to them ligical to respond in french! And which more wors - never read the complaint, where they offered to contact customer service, which I alredy did and that is the reason why I am writing this complaint!”
“I recently ordered two Tomket Sport 205/55 R16 91V tyres from Tyreleaderco.uk. While placing the order was quick and easy (4 star), the rest of the experience was terrible (1 star).
Customer service was practically non-existent. Getting a response from either the delivery company or Tyreleader support itself took ages, and even then, the answers were often unhelpful or nonexistent. This was despite trying to contact them through various channels - Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and email.
Honestly, considering the positive reviews on Trustpilot, I'm surprised by how poorly my experience went. It made me question the validity of those reviews.
If you value peace of mind during the buying process, I wouldn't recommend Tyreleaderco.uk. While I tried to save some money, the hassle I went through makes me wish I'd paid more elsewhere.
I've never received anything sheet paying, the support said I have received the order, but the delivery company send a proof of the opposite, the order returned to sender. I don't know what to do because this is ridiculous.
Date of experience: 29 February 2024”
“I WILL NEVER order through Tyreleader again!
Long story short: I have ordered 4 tyres, received 3. Informed the customer service immediatly, providing details and photos, filled out the insurance claim with DPD for them.
One week later. No refund, no replacement, no update. I got put off with "we need to settle the claim with DPD first".
Nope, that is not how it should work from my point of view! Therefore, i cannot recommend this business.
I am gonna claim my money back through Paypal!”
“I ordered Radar Dimex tyres, £100 each.
They sent me Minnell .. which is £60 each..
when I asked for refund (100-60)x4 = £160, they took 1 month to address my complaint and finally refunded only £37
Never trust them, and never buy from them.”
“We I sure doesn’t work, WhatsApp number just sends you round and round with automated nonsense. It’s been 5 days and no tyres, no communication, just a email with a tracking number that doesn’t work. They really screwed me over with this delay”
“Avoid avoid avoid avoid them and their supplier Tyres Life UK.
I ordered and paid 4 tyres they only delivered 2 and they keep saying that that the other 2 tyres has been delivered.”
“Awful. They sent the incorrect brand . Sent tracmax when I ordered continental at great expense. Said they couldn't send the correct tyres due to logistical reasons. Then had the audacity to ask me to order and spend money again. But won't refund till the incorrect tyres were back at thier warehouse. Don't think so! I don't trust this company at all. Scammers!”
“Avoid avoid avoid. They take your money and tyre never arrives. I have used tyre leader couple of times and they never arrive. Customer service lie blaming courier. They supply tracking numbers and when you contact the courier they say the tyres have never been sent.
DONOT BUY FROM HERE!!!!!! Worse company ever. They advertise cheap tyres you never get and if tyre leader respond to this post, donot believe what they ssy. Total liars.”
“Placed an order for a tyre to be delivered to a fitter listed on the Tyreleader in March ‘23. The tyre was never delivered to the fitter as the company doesn’t appear to be operating from the listed premises. Tyreleader removed the fitter from their website and refuse to replace or refund the missing tyre. After 3 months they are telling me I have to take it up with their shipper to try and get compensation. Any other online retailer would refund or replace the missing product, not pass the responsibility on to a customer to liaise with their shipper. Nobody to speak to, all customer service is by WhatsApp or via their web portal. Worst experience from an online retailer. Avoid”
“AVOID! DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE WHICH ARE BASED IN ANDORA! HIGH RISK YOU CAN LOOSE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME! WE PURCHASED TWO TYRES FOR OVER 400 EURO, AS WE WERE TOLD TYRES SHOULD BE DELIVERED BETWEEN 2-4 WORKING DAYS -IT IS NEVER HAPPEND! FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE WE HAVE RECEIVED DPD TRACKING NUMBER WHICH CAN'T BE RECOGNISED BY DPD CUSTOMER DESK AND WE WERE TOLD AT DPD THE TRACKING NUMBER IS INVALID. WE HAVE CONTACT THIS POOR SERVICE COMPANY TO EXPLAIN THIS SITUATION BUT WE JUST RECEIVED FROM THEM TRACKING NUMBER WHICH IS MORE LIKELY FAKE, AND NO EXPLANATIONS ABOUT DELIVERY TIME, THEIR CUSTOMER DESK DOIESNT EXIST, WE HAVE JUST ONLY FEW MESSAGE FROM THEM AND THEY STOP REPLY, WE HAVE NOTICED SOME PEOPLE WORKING IN THEIR OFFICE IS LEAVING FAKE GOOD FEEDBACK AT SOME WEBSITES,T YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED THEY BEHAVE THEMSELVES LIKE SCAMMERS, WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCHED WITH SOME TYRE SERVICE IN IRELAND RECOMMENDED BY THERI WEBSITES AND ALL FEEDBACK WAS BAD! THESE TYRE SERVICE POINTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM! WE HAVE CONTACT AND OPEN CASE IN OUR BANK SERVICE PROVIDER TO CANCELL PAYMENT AND REFUND US MONEY WE HAVE SPENT AT THIS PURCHASE, DON'T LOOSE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, THEY HAVE A REALY BAD FEEDBACK!”
“Appalling customer service.
Wrong tyres supplied but will not respond to online messaging ticket system. No phone number but there is Whatsapp messaging which only achieves stalling replies of 'We will reply ASAP'. Have initiated chargeback, which seems the only way of getting a refund. I have used this company before, they do get 5 stars when it works, but when there is a problem then you are on your own. You have been warned - use at your own risk.”
