Hi Robin,

Try this site, I found the Assy 2's for £125 fitted each :happy2:

....The question will be whether they will supply only. I get free fitting from my VW dealer anyway and I trust their work.

Put it this way, if you owned a tyre shop and someone offered you the supply & fit price for just supply, what would you say? :drool:

I purchased some toyo t1 sports on Monday and am very impressed with them.  Got them for just over £100 fitted and the difference in the grip on the rear is immense. It didnt feel like that on the old tyres when they were new.  Im getting some fitted to the fronts next month :grin:   The sidewalls are very rigid and they have dual compound from the inside to the outside edge and are very similar in pattern to the Conti Sport 3s.  Well worth a consideration!

Sounds good, where did you get them from? I'm probably going to replace all 4 corners at once but can't decide on Vreds, Goodyears or Mich PS2s plus there may be the Toyos you mention to consider.

I got them from Selecta Tyre in Newark, Nottinghamshire.  Been going to them for years so they always give me a good price :happy2:
