So Tyre Trader is cheaper on the big stuff but not so keen by £3 on stock sizes. Hardly miles away. They were very cheap for my 18", hence asking.

Yeah, but then were only talking a few quid and its just as easy to get them at the tyre place for that price and if there is any issues i only have to drive down the road.

Yeah I don't think a 3 quid saving on 30 quid tyres is much of a worry, but this was like 100 less than my best quote for the set of four.

Besides which, the guy is scouse anyway so I just drive down the road
