Can't tell you prices for your wheels but I paid £650 inc. delivery for a set of 18s S03s for my old cerbie. They were the cheapest I could find.

I notice S-03PP's in 245/45/ZR16 are £117.10 each including VAT and delivery. However, what does one do about fitting? Surely your local tyre fitters aren't going to be too chuffed if you just turn up and ask for a fitting and balancing service are they?

Sweet!

It was Southam Tyres, Southam, Warwickshire

Nice chap, seemed quite knowledgeable.
I asked for the price loose, because the car isn't delivered until the weekend and I want the tyres here ready. My local tyre fitter will put them on for a tenner a corner or a pint and a hoon round the back roads!

also got my rears from mytyres, took it to my local factor for fitting. fitted, balanced and also balanced fronts for about £20-00. they didn't mind, I offered it to them first...and atleast they got some of it!
overall saving about £60-00

EdT said: Ring Bracknell Tyres for their price - they're usually v competitive so will give you a fair idea
Ed
Indeed they are. Had 2 x 245/45/16 S03s fitted last week. Price for the pair including VAT + fitting £230.30
Compare that to £240 each at the AA and £180 each at Kwik Fit!

Glad to hear that Bracknell tyres are competative. Since moving to Yateley I've found Micheldever Tyres a bit of a trek to get to. Wasn't so bad when I was in Basingstoke.
re: fitting services - I've just confirmed that Central Tyres nr. Blackwater station do a fitting service. I enquired when they did 4-wheel tracking on the Corrado for me yesterday (which was an altogether very reasonable £26-odd).

Spent a bit of time hunting round for tyres at lunchtime as I'll be needing some in the next couple of months and a Garage one mile from my house will supply and fit new S03's all round for £430 which sounds like excellent value for money.
I also found on the net S02's so could potentially order a whole new set of those at roughly £90 for the front and £130 for the rear.
My only wish is that Toyo's can't be bought for the front, Z rated. Found a website that can supply ones for the rear for £87 each!!! Sent Toyo an email asking if they'll be making Z rated 205/55/15's so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get a positive reply from them.
Hope some of this helps and if nothing it proves that you can save a lot just by having a good look around.
