Well its time to replace my rears so under the wise instruction from the club I went to replace them with the same as before
Toyo Proxes T1-R 205/50/15 V
I have a day off so went around all the tyre fitters locally,  prices varied from £64.95 to £79.95 fitted and balanced.
Kwik Fit had NEVER HEARD of Toyo!!

Anyway so I got back and checked Blackcircles and MyTyres as per recomendations and they were more expensive!
Camskill £72.70 plus fitting
Mytyres £77.00 Fitted
Blackcircles £63.87 Fitted
Local Bloke £64.95 Fitted

So is it worth the wait?
Is the web always cheapest?

Hi Russ,

There is a ROC discount for Blackcircles Click Here

That said, the price the local guy is quoting you is decent.  Don't forget though that Blackcircles supply the tyre and a local guy fits, so essentially it'll be the same service.

Cheers,
Stu

Wow, I'm quite surprised that camskill wasn't the cheapest for your size! They've always been the cheapest for me when I've looked (in larger sizes mind you)
