Went to some tyre places got quoted prices for tyres that are obviously hand crafted by Tibetan monks and delivered by vestal virgins scattering petals prior to them feedin me grapes while they fit them

Back to the internet then, less vestal virgin influence on the prices but feel some tough hand tyre fitting coming on....all 5 of the pricey critters..

There's a tyre place (Tyre Torque) on an industrial estate near me that puts tyres on for notalottamoney. I've used him a few times, he likes Landies, so instead of the usual tenner a tyre he only charges me £20 for four, even though he has to work harder!

He also seems to employ people who have a clue ...

Might be worth having a troll through the local Yellow Pages or similar, or having a drive round industrial estates, see what you have locally.
