Dario

I've been quoted £571 fitted and balanced for 4.
Is this a good deal?
Any other makes in this exact size?

Sounds expensive to me Dario!

Last time I got a quote for those wheels in 205/45x17, it was about 440 - 460 fitted including VAT and balancing etc.

I ended up going with the Bridgestone S02s in 215/40 x 17 at £480 all inclusive.

I paid £135 apiece earlier in the year, fitted & balanced expertly. Never have I seen a tyre fitter take so much care as when he was handling my 17" Prodrives!

If you're in the north-west and want the number of the place that did mine, let me know.

Hi Andrew - yep i'd appreciate the number of your fitter - I'm in Liverpool

I've just bargained the price down to £479 fitted and balanced - the guy started at £680 but gave in when I told them someone has quoted £480.

It's a 'National' tyre outlet - they fit the tyres for Porche and Mercedes near by - so they said they'd be careful with my ST2's.

Haven't decided to go with it yet

Hi Dario. The place is called Jim Jeffreys, they're based in Stockton Heath just outside Warrington. The number is 01925 261193.

They're a high-performance tyre specialist, and apparantly they supply & fit for the local 'run of the mill' tyre outlets when something unusual is called for. You'll be amazed by the mountains of exotic stock they have there! They're a genuinely friendly & knowledgeable bunch, and have no problem with you standing over them while they work on your wheels.

If I can help with directions then let me know.

BTW, are you going along to the NW meet on November 7th? If you fancy meeting up for the drive over to Bury, let me know.

Regards,

Andrew.
