I have just ordrered two vredesteins from blackcircles.com.
They'll hopefully be at my door for the weekend, for just under £220.

I recently got mine from Camskill, next day delivery which was great. Paid £10 per tyre for fitting and balancing and worked out £20 cheaper per tyre than blackcircles

I ordered 2 vredestein ultrac sessanta's (225 40 18) from blackcircles on Monday for £243.32 fitted.

That was the cheapest when I looked (currently the same price fitted)

But have noticed the tyre only price is now £107.26 each (+ Del), which is a good price :happy2:

Just spoke with Camskill and was informed that they are getting a container of Vredestein tyres towards the end of April. Also informed that the price would be coming down a bit but he couldn't give me a price. Think I'll hang fire for a few weeks for mine.
