Luckily I realised

Blackcircles changed the order to the correctly

rated tyre

They said they are aware of the issue and

looking into it

They claimed tyre type based on car registration

is only a guide

But I selected the correct tyre from the list

supplied

Why would it then offer a different one?

Be careful

Using a tyre with a wrong rating may invalidate

your insurance

It may even be dangerous

Blackcircles must make it clearer if a different

rated tyre is being offered.
