You're not really going to get cheap tbh, some charge a little less for fitting etc but not much in. Don't think there's going to be much difference in the price of tyres either.

I normally get my tyres at guildford tyres in chilworth

Cheap is the last description I would use on Guildford Tyres.

Lately I've been getting tyres from God knows where & looking for cheap fitting - Which 'Ride In' in Reading is very good at. Try them for buying tyres as well

Erm, one in fleet, road wheels and tyres maybe.

Pretty good price plus you're allowed to stand around and watch em do it and bother them with questions which is nice

Another vote here for ride-in at Reading. I live a few hundred yards from Road Wheel in Fleet and given the way they treated me the couple of times I went in for quotes I would certainly never entertain giving them any business.

Also worth checking out Micheldever tyres but only if you have a need to go out there otherwise the savings will be eaten up iin fuel.

Well managed to get an Avon storm for £96 fitted to a loose wheel, about £15 less than anywhere else close to me so pretty happy with that. now i get to see how many miles i get out of a fresh one :O

You're in a Londonish thread, you clot

I'd try RoundAndBlack on t'ebay normally, but in this case both your links have them beat by £10 + P&P for SV sizes. Have you given National Tyres a buzz over at Barnsley?
