Just pick up the local Yellow Pages and ring around. Then ring Kwik-Fit and give them the lowest price you have (minus £5) and they will try to beat it, I ended up paying £370 for a set of S03's

I would give Bracknell Tyres a call. I paid £148 per tyre for Toyo P1 proxes for my Tuscan. They were cheaper than Micheldever. Not too far down the M4 from Oxford.

There number is 01344 411323

Micheldever do 24 hour delivery to any UK address then you can get fitted at local dealer and they normally come up with a good price

www.mytyres.co.uk actually beat Micheldevers price when we bought S03's last month.....

Been very impressed so far with the S03's too (although they don't look as good as the S02)

Ok I'm sorted --thanks for your help.
Many phone calls and on-line quotes later plus boredom.Bracknell Tyres fit 2 SO3s tomorrow for £88 each all in.Not bad as some wanted £140+
If anyone knows of any cheaper deals keep it to yourself at least untill mine are fitted

Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Positions
205/15/55 front and 245/16/45 rear

£425 fitted and balanced at Micheldever 2 months ago.

I'll send you a map of how to get there if you want but sure there will be someone in Oxford that can do the same or better than that.

Make sure you check the pressures before you leave as I can gaurantee they will be too high.
For S03s go for 24 psi rear and 22 psi front
