Is that £150 for 4 or £150 each tyre... I'm running F1's on my WRX, great tyres (amazing in the wet) and at £303 for the set (17's), I thought they were great value too...

I've got a GT-B too. Just put on 4 Bridgestone SO-3. IMHO not nearly as good as the SO-2 that preceded them. If you'r in the right part of the country Mitcheldever Tyre in Hampshire are just about the cheapest, and very competent.
I paid £135 including fitting per corner at Central Tyre (2 simultaneous blow outs in a massive pothole near Chesham).

F1 is a good choice of tyre and much better value than the RE010 bridgestones that are fitted as standard (though RE010 aren't a bad tyre in 17") I have very good experience of F1s - excellent in the wet and pretty good in the dry too

price you have is roughly double the going rate though -

if down south then speak to wembley tyres, if up north then ring oldham tyres - both should be circa £75 each for 4 incl vat and fitted.

Cool

Fantastic, thanks for your help. I'm running 215/45 ZR 17 can't find them for less than £100 each. Based in south London near Richmond but I don't mind driving for those sort of savings! If any of you have contact details or specific prices please let me have them, thanks.
