New tyres

My front tyres need replacing, i am considering the Michellin PS4's

Been quoted £220 for both including fitting, just wanted to check if that's reasonable and where do you guys normally look for tyres?

I have been quoted that via blackcircles

What size are your wheels. I got 4 225/40/18 for £398 delivered because I would prefer to get someone I know to fit them along with black wheel weights.

 I was quoted £104 each fitted.

Mine are same size as yours buddy, how much is fitting fee normally? My back ones are ok for now so going for just the front 2.

It cost me a litre of JD to get four tyres fitted with by a friend. He's the only guy that I would trust 100% to not mark them.

Let me know what the contis are like.

From what I've heard they are good, especially as an all rounder.

I was getting my wife's winter tyres off today. The bloke in the bay beside me had a white GTI. He was getting 2 tyres replaced. I asked one of the fitters what he was getting on - Bridgestones.

He obviously doesn't read this forum. Or he is an old married man (like me) and drives like one!

Contis are excellent but soft so don't last that long, my fronts did less than 10k.
Michelins are doing just fine at the moment and the wear looks OK - I really like them, they have excellent grip (wet and dry) and feel.

Bodgestones are a very hard compound -  good on dry days in the summer, borderline dangerous in the damp/wet.
They do last forever though....

Still don't get this statement that Bridgestones are dangerous in the wet. Surely you drive to the road conditions in front of you and can't drive the same way in dry and wet conditions.
