Which large outlet does decent tyres at decent prices near Plymouth. Need some 225 17 for my C5.

Not strictly speaking an answer to the question, but there's probably a Black Circles franchise somewhere near Plymouth?

I use bathwick tyres near the Britney ferry port. My tyres are special order size (265-50-15) and they can get them in £30 a tyre cheaper than my local fitters in Liskeard. Worth giving them a ring and asking.

Most online places do them next day now. Unless there's a local business to support (and chains don't count) it's best to go online. Ears haven't let me down yet.
Then just get them fitted wherever.
Easier than trying to find a Halfrauds with anything decent in stock.

£15-20 I think is normal. Maybe less.
