I was recommended www.tyre-shopper.co.uk and got two Goodyear F1's at the weekend.  You pick your tyre and pay that price, then simply pick a place for fitting.

I got 225/45/17 GY F1's for 106 quid each.  I checked the actual site of the company that fitted the tyres and they were about 135 directly from them!

I would go with Tyre Shopper or Camskill online as well. Both those places are good and would be hard to beat on price. Prices range from the cheap tyres, about £60ish right up to some for P Zero's for £225 each.

Tyre shopper for 215/18/40

http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/ts/search/SizeSearch.aspx

Camskill for the same tyre

Hope that helps  :happy2:

Not really they have bumped the original price to £189 a tyre and now selling at £140 with 25% off
They were £140 a tyre before the sale

Blackcircles are doing the goodyears for £142 each fitted with 4x tesco club card  points.

I normally ring some local tyre fitters and ask if they can beat the black circles prices

Just got 2 Goodyear f1 assymetric 2's for 225quid delivered from lovetyres.com

Hadn't heard of the company but a bit of research said they were good and they turned up the next day :notworthy:

^^^^ that IS a good price. Paid £510 (fitted) for a set of GY F1 2's in 225/40/r18/Y92 from Tyreshopper.com. Could have saved quite a bit on that price from this love tryes.com.  :sad1:

The fitting costs quite a bit nowadays if you don't have mates in the trade

I bought mine from Camskills but after most tyre places refused to fit them as I didn't buy from them I ended up having to pay £70 for fitting
