Last two sets I needed I managed to get from stock - fitted there and then. If you're looking for the best price then it is likely you'll have to order and wait for them. Not hard to find though.

Apparantly they are on 2-3 weeks back order at the 20 or so places I phoned. At the moment they are rarer than rocking horse **** in these parts!

Kwik fit newbury can get them though but its going to cost £230 for 2 tyres 215/40/17.

Cheers

Kwik Fit have a price match policy. Tell them the best quote you've had and they should match it.

Agree with the original poster.... they are in very short supply hence stupid prices being quoted!

Thanks guys - have put on Continental sport contact extra load as I wanted to try extra load tyre, but Goodyear dont do it in my size!

Initial response in the wet weather is good after I adjusted the pressures correctly - on the front 28 and 31.5 were how they left it (kwik fit!)

Will report back after the rally weekend when given them a proper run away from the Talivans!

Cheers

It's true!..... seems almost everyone is waiting for the backorder delivery from Goodyear at the mo. Found this out last week when had a panic requirement (long story) for a new set of 4.

Found them though..... Selectatyre in Macclesfield £436 fitted etc.
