Try black circles, they're usually better value than anywhere else I could find.

You can either buy the tyres and have them delivered or go to one of their fitting centres.

Ive Been told that the Car is supplied with Conti's from the Main Dealer but what would you guys recommend for driving on through the winter ?
E.G would Yoko's be worth a try ?

Cheers Guys

18" 225/45R18 and 255/40R18
19" 225/40R19 and 255/35R19

I recommend Pirelli P-Zeros, had them on for over a year and very impressed - wear well and handle grippily. Gather the Goodyear GSD-F1 (?) are better at coping with wet conditions. If you want winter tyres then go all out and buy proper winter ones like they use on the continent and overtake people in the snow

I have 235 / 275 goodyear eagle f1's on 19's on mine. I like them, they work well wet or dry. They also seem to wear well, I've had 7k out of them with loads of life left, they still look almost new. Must try harder I guess.....

IIRC from when I had mine and was trying to source a set of rear boots the only manufacturers that made the correct size for them were Conti, Michelin and Dunlop. All three tyres apparently have 'M3' stamped on the side was as they are made specifically for the car. This doesn't help prices as you're effectively a captive market, so don't expect to get much discount off the RRP.
