sorry dont know where you can get cheap tyres from but it will be a lot cheaper if you take tyre in yourself as they normally charge you labour which is about £35 an hour!!

How far are you from Micheldever Tyres ? I've been getting my tyres from there as they seem to be about the best price I can find.

Rich - I have always used Micheldever Tyres - very cheap and excellent service. Protyre are part of the same group and have a place in Fareham I think - would suggest you phone Micheldever and then get Protyre to match it.

click here or here

If you go to a specific tyre place, then they willcan charge anything from 8-15 quid to take the wheel off. If you take in a loose wheel, then thats what you would save.

As for the tyre, depends on brand

I use Cox's in Eastleigh - BT020 f&r for £173 fitted, same price at Micheldever. Tried to get Conti Roadattacks but nowhere seem to stock them.
