£200 each is bo lox. Around £100 a corner is pretty average price, others on here have had cheaper. I paid £100 at Kwik Fit last year, for 17"s though.

How far are you willing to travel? Ian Brown Tyres near Malton has been the cheapest in York area for last couple of years for F1's

You could also try http://www.johnsonstyres.com/

Fitting at Kwik-Fit or the like would only be £20-£30.

Kwik fit and the other large places like ATS etc won't unless the tyres come from them, you'd need to find a smaller local tyre fitter who will more than likely throw the pair on for £10 cash in hand... and more than likely look after your car and wheels better than the kn*bs in Kwik Fit ever would.

My 4 were £400 all in fitted and valve balanced etc at Kwik Fit. They will check your torque settings a week later for free if you can be bothered to go back! Wouldn't necessarily rush back to them though, as they were unnecessarily rough with my gay gold rims.

Plus VAT, they charge £8 (approx) per tyre to fit as well.

It was a 17" set at a Kwik Fit in Hull. I rang around a few places and they were cheapest.

£400 is what I'd pay for 4 18's

Alan, if you still need some PM CW42 and he will give you details of a place in Manchester that do very good prices....

I was going to use him but had the luck of getting the 20% off voucher from Costco for 4 Michelim PS2s
