Default Tyre Dilemma

Looking for a bit help here. One of my front tyres died yesterday in Stirling. Managed to get the car back to Edinburgh on the comedy spare.

tyres are toyo proxes 225/40/18 done 25000 on them since fitted at Jim dicksons in combernauld.

Can anywhere recommend anywhere other than Jim's to get them replaced?? (in/near Edinburgh or Glasgow)

Am I pushing my luck just replacing the front 2??

JVS (loanhead edinburgh) did me a pretty decent deal for my GTR a month or two back. They get them in next day and fit/balance etc.
