Have you tried www.blackcircles.com ? They price for tyres only or tyres and fitting at a place of your choice.

I always use Camskills and fit myself. Excellent service, and competetive prices.

I'm nearing new tyre time myself, and am probably going to go for Yoko Neova AD08 now that I'm using the M3 less for daily all weather transport.

Just put these on our M3 for this weekends ring trip. Really looking forward to testing them!

Look forward to hearing how you get on with them, therefore ..... and seeing some pictures wink

We've run them on a number of race cars which we prepare since before they were available on the UK market. Their performance, and durability have been very impressive so far.

They have proved quite progressive and forgiving towards the limit too. Fingers crossed you find the same on your car.

just got a pair goodyear F1 275 30 R19s from Pro Tyre in Bristol (stgeorge)
£471 which was favourable compared to the black circles price and other places i phoned

they charge £12 to fit a tyre

they were also recomended imndependantly as some where that does things properly if you want your rims to remain scratch free

I've just fitted Vreds on the rear, have always run Mich or Contis in the past, no complaints at the moment and quite a lot cheaper.

I have recently put a full set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's on an E46 M3. I wasn't sure what to expect given that I got the whole set (235/35 x2 and 265/30 x2) for less than £600 but I have to say they are very impressive.

Ultimately they are not quite as good as PS2's, which I have found in the past to be the best tyre available (for all round use anyway)but considering the pice gap, more than happy with the Vred's.

At the time, supply was very limited (as Vredestein had switched into winter tyre production) but I ended up getting the 2 front's from Camskill and the rear's from 'Pneus Online' - I think these may be a French outfit but don't let that put you off! Excellent service!
