I think this is a fair price, but I paid £490 all in for 4 from Budget in Falkirk while I was up visiting family last week.

Just thought I'd post in case anyone in the area is looking.

I have been sourcing SO 2's and the best prices I can find are Birkenshaw International in Glasgow £85+Vat and you will have to find someone to fit them. TyreWise in East Kilbride will do them for £105 fitted and balanced (that 205/50x16).

Dont understand this at all.

I can get SO2s for 105 plus vat, can lose the vat for cash. That is on a 215 40 17 not a 6.

Similar price for 235 420 17 for my 2b

Just paid 115 for SO3s!

what the hell are you people doing?

Lads speak to Mark at Tyres Northampton as they are by far the cheapest ive had for tyres! and the service is unbeatable!!!!

SO2's are their most common tyre so give them a call on 01604 588599!

You could always go to Lougran Brothers in Towcester. They are first class guys and they're excellent on price.

Lets just say I'm getting 225/35ZR18 P-Zero's for only a few quid more than you paid

Also, if you go there for tyres, that's all you'll come away with.

Cheers
Kurt
