I can't give a definite price as the invoice also includes a battery and it doesn't breakdown the cost. I think they were around £84 each.

Black Circles have them at £87.08

For the last 15 years I've always got/get mine from ProTyre. As the group has expanded they now have branches nationwide. https://www.protyre.co.uk/

Edited to add - always call for a price as well. Sometimes the phone price is cheaper than the web price and sometimes it's the other way round.

Protyre are part of Southam Tyres based just down the road. Ann has just bought a set of Michelins for her Fiat 500 C.
Always confirm the price includes the Fitting (Fitting, balance, disposal and probably new valves
Look for the Date of Manufacture on thr Tyre wall. XX/XX being the week and year of manufacture. The Industry normal is upto 5 years it is considered new. Commonly tyres are replaced every 3 to 5 years The ultimate life, a legal requirement in many countries but ignored in the UK, is 10 years

I bought two Falken 310's for £64 from Longbridge tyres a couple of years ago. Getting close to needing another pair now. Don't seem to have any problems with 310 on the front and the old type (935?) on the rear. !5" rims mind.

Very happy just bought x2 215 40 16 for the rear of my TF from Tyres.net for £117 delivered to me. Still got to get them fitted but that's about a tenner each so that's £137 all in .. ;) :thumbsu:
