yup, camskill is cheapest, and as said most "fitters will try to sting you fitting. dont ask them how much tell them you will give them £10 a corner fitted and balanced. better still try pulling one of the lads to one side and box him off.

I had these on my last WRX. You could not wear them out, but were lethal in the wet. Absolutely no grip.
Also did a few track days on them and were quite good when you got them hot.
Remember doing a full day with 2 drivers and came away with more rubber than at the start.

Side issue.....
Anyone know where i can get a Dunlop SP Sport 600 (245/40/r18 93W), either new or secondhand. Standard fit on 08 hatch STI.
Picked up a wood screw right on the edge of the tread.
Thinks they are only available in Japan
thanks

thats what people dont relise . yes the tyres may be cheaper online , but then you have to get them fitted !
i get people in my shop all the time saying , oh i can get them cheaper online , to which i say well 1. you have to prob take a day off to get them delivered . 2 you have to drive around looking for somewhere to fit em 3. any tyre shop will prob charge you £15 per tyre to fit and at the end of it the price i gave you is probably cheaper !
had a guy in an x 5 come in with his own tyres ( big *******) when i said it would be £70 to fit four he looked at me as if i was ripping him off
its an hour of my time ,my labour and my equiptment and supplies, thats what people dont understand .

found a place which gave me a decent price at 330 all in,i agree with everything u said there,and people are wanting 15 quid a tyre for fitting so even if i did buy them online and got them fitted it would have cost £350,and i was quoted £330 all in .i also understand why they charge £15 a tyre.
i saved over £50 even with fitting charge.

I've just called Demon Tweeks regarding these the FK452 and they have offered me £99 a corned fitted, balanced the lot.
Does that sound reasonable? I thought it was.
