Personally mate I would go for the Toyos but it depends what you are after from the tyre. I have had numerous sets of Toyos and really rate them for handling characteristics and for price. Last time I had to replace all 4 tyres and couldnt get the Toyos from either website so went for the Kumho Ecsta 712s....they were ok but not a patch on the Toyos and when they get low (but still legal) on tread I found them shocking so was pleased to have a new set of Toyos fitted on the front last monday!

Used both websites and found them good, altho black circles slightly dearer. Slight side point, but near me I reckon the tyre fitters have twigged onto the fact websites can supply tyres a lot cheaper so many have now bumped the price up for fitting them to make up for lost business. I used to be able to have a tyre fitted, valve and balance for about a fiver but now nearer £14.
