Yeah I've already been looking at places to buy and fit tyres.
For the michelin pilot exalto's,
blackcircles deliver for £146 and fit for £162
mytyres deliver for £154 and fit for £168
Any other sources/places I could try to buy from?
Phil Mcavity:
Kwikfit often will price match stealth, i did that and they knocked the price down from £146 to £86 + vat!!!! :jumping: They were for Dunlop Sportmax but i have no issues with that tyre. 5th in recent tests overall.

Only issue I have is that I want all four tyres to match. Three are fine (mich. pilot exaltos) so I think I'm supposed to make sure it's the same on each axle, which means either changing two tyres or one. If they had it, I would have gone to them too.
Phil Mcavity:
Kwikfit stock Michelins stealth, seriously i would get quotes from elsewhere and see if kwikfit will price match. i saved nearly £100 for 2 tyres fitted.

Went to two different tyre places.
Both said there was no significant damage, which was limited to the thickened bit of the tyre over the rim (rim protection). They call it a "kerb rider". Unfortunately, neither could assist with refurbing rims.
