Ive used www.event-tyres.co.uk in the past, usually cheaper than most places and they change them on your drive or at work

Well I paid £150 posted for 4 brand new, boxed, Kumho Ecsta KU31's off ebay, when mytyres.co.uk are £220 and before that £130 IIRC for a set of 4 195/45/16 Toyo Proxies. I had to pay £45 to have them fitted and balenced with new valves but you would have to pay that buying them online anway?

I had to put a new tyre on My Panda 100HP and ATS charged me £82 to supply and it a 15 inch Goodyear!

Oh yeah but the cost of fitting etc is normally added onto the end price.

But anyway thats a great price for 4

Ended up getting all four supplied and fitted at my work for £299 from Event Tyres. Went for the Continental Sport Contact's so pretty happy with that price.
