How much are people paying for their tyres these days?
I'm due a new pair on the rear, and I'm being quoted £740 from an independent Porsche garage. This seems pretty steep, so I shopped around and Asda and Halfords are over £200 cheaper for the same PS4S N-rated tyre. In fact, the last time I paid over £700 it was for four Goodyear F1s (on the same car).
The problem is I have always struggled with getting a decent balance on large 20" wheels, and this independent Porsche garage is the only business I know of locally with a road force balancing machine.
I feel I may need to suck this one up, but I'd be interested in hearing people's experiences.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I rang my local OPC and they quoted £640, but they don't road force balance.
After doing a bit of reading, I remembered a thread I made 5 years ago about the same issue:

I think I will just spend the extra and save myself the aggro.
