Hi all - first post on the board!

I'm looking to ditch my nogrip tyres in favour of something decent for my S3. Michedever have given me an excellent price on a set of Bridgestone RE720 205/60 VR 15 (I take it this is the correct size - the car has 15" Chimaera alloys all round).

Where do you guys go for fitting - how happy are garages to fit tyres that you havent bought for them? I figure I prob need to just get on the phone - but any experiences would be welcome.

Cheers Steve

Thats why Im keener on the Bridgestones - If u do a search for tyres in these forums there is quite a bit of discussion - it seems a lot of tyres can cut it in the dry but not in the wet - and its wet most of the time in Scotland!! I'm now used to driving my TIV like a Ford Fiesta after a couple of hairy spins (not to mention the gearbox falling apart) - will be nice to get some grip back so I can give it a bit of welly
