Go on mytyres.co.uk or blackcirces.co.uk and price up what you want then a garage may fit for £30. May work out cheaper. If not just phone all the grages around yourarea for prices.

very good prices there.

As for alignment, your local tyre place should be able to sort you out with it. i paid £47 to have mine done.
Tires, ive got pirelli P6000 all round and i really cant complain. Good grip in the dry and ok in the wet.
Next set of tires i'l be going for are either uniroyal rainsports or toyo T1R's, as they are both very good tires.

I recently bought a full set of tyres and did a fair bit of research across a number of forums and found made the following shortlist. Any of the will be excellent, and as the RA's are only 15", the difference in price is negligible:

1. Goodyear Asymetricals
2. Uniroyal Rainsports
3. Goodyear GSD3's
4. Toyo T1-R


I went for the T1-R's as they were cheapest at the time, and they didn't have the uniroyals in stock.

I would recommend etyres - they have very good prices and include a mobile fitter that comes to your house and fits and balances the wheels there and then.
Just got some Avon ZV3's on the front and have been impressed so far.

Mytyres and then get them fitted by a guy in Fareham just next to where the a32 branches off for Gosport (swift tyres i think going by yell.com). That was the cheapest way i found when i got mine done. Just make sure you ask for the stick on weights rather than the clip on ones he'll try and use! Then go to protyre in fareham for alignment and job done :afro:
