 Give Micheldever Tyres a call: 01962 774437. I've always found them to be a good deal, they keep plenty of stock and the service is excellent... but the queues can be mind-numbing! They also repair run-flats, which I've stuck to because I'm lazy.

I've found, on other cars, that Vredesteins offer the best grip, something that is the main complaint I have with mine.

 Lucky for me they hadn't processed the order. £253.25 delivered, and my Kwik Fit are charging £40 fitting, including valves/balance etc! Thanks for the heads up Dave!
