Have a look here: www.camskill.co.uk

Just remember that you have to factor in extra the price of having them fitted and balanced.

Big ass wheels, did you call around the usual suspects? Quick Fit/FAst Fit/Dave Mc Cann tyres etc? I always found they give around the same price range. Getting the tyres online just kinda leaves you with the additional headache of finding a garage to fit them for you .... guess it really comes down to how much of a bargain you are looking for

I bought tyres from Camskill a couple of months ago. I bought Hankook as Camskill were much cheaper for that brand than any other retailer I could find. For every other brand Eiretyres were more or less the same price.
I'm pleased with my tyres (225/45 17W). Might be worth a look?

What kind of driving, all-round (seasonal) tyres, or Summer/Winter ones?

Had goodyear eagle f1 asymetric last time, they were good. Think I prefer my vredstein sportac 3's now, got them on sale from camskill.

GOODYEAR TYRES / CAR / GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC - 225/40R18 92Y XL FP TL

how much they cost you?

is there much difference in performance and price with the vredsteins?

I have a pair of these in 17" on my car for about 3 months now and find them great. Falken are very underrated but are a good mid range brand.

Im just after fitting Eagle F1 Assy's all round on my car and they are incredible. Wear is a concern with them though. Not sure if they are made in the size you need, but Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta have high recommendations too.

That's them all right, they were about 400 for 4 with shipping for 17's a while back. Got the vredstein's because they were on offer and I'd heard good things. Both are very good tyres, I felt myself that on my car the goodyears were a bit less grippy then the vredsteins. Woudn't fault them though. Both would be excellent buys, don't know how well the vredsteins will wear, but the goodyears lasted me a good while.
