I had 4 Pilot Sport 4's fitted at Kwikfit at Hillsborough on my Austins recently with no issues-I spoke to the fitter before hand and he promised to be careful.

I wouldnt normally use Kwikfit but they had a good offer on the PSports.

Good luck!!

A friend of mine has recently purchased Challenger tyres on Rutland road and would be worth a visit if you haven't already got this sorted.

Myres Tyres Hatfield House Lane owner is Carl iv had loads of tyres in the past and my lads use him for their work vehicle tyres.
My issue wasn't the cost of the tyre bein a Pirelli Pzero 235/35/19 but potential damage to the santi which Carl understood so as said very happy.. :grin:

Having a good independent tyre supplier / fitter nearby who takes care not to damage your wheels is worth a lot IMO. I use one who's a good 30 miles from where I live, but I'm prepared to travel that distance to get my tyres fitted and my wheels stay unmarked, rather than use one of the closer national chains and risk having my wheels damaged.
