Sales of new cars have slumped as drivers delay replacing their present ones, and they all eventually need tyres.

As cash gets tighter the Internet is the obvious place to look for savings, and leading online tyre retailer etyres offers tyre prices that are up to 40 per cent cheaper than at leading tyre depots. Not surprisingly sales are booming.

Orders are taken online or through the national call centre and then carried out by a network of franchisees who provide a local mobile tyre fitting service.  The etyres website features TV’s Eamonn Holmes and Vicki Butler-Henderson who explain the massive savings.

The franchise can be run as a sole trader or a management opportunity, and both can be developed into multi van businesses in an exclusive territory.

Full training and ongoing support is provided. Start up cost is £35,000 and key areas are still available.  etyres is a full member of the British Franchise Association.
