£644 for all 4 tyres including balancing and valves. I used Kwik Fit mobile service.

Mine were £650 from a small local tyre dealer, so pretty competitive really.

I've just ordered Asymmetric 3s to replace my runflats but in sizes 235/35 X 19 and 255/35 x19 to hopefully give a better ride.
out of interest. Why not 225 40 on the front?
Some people that have fitted 225/40 have had issues with them rubbing, so best to steer clear.

Ah that makes sense. I guess they're not too much wider than the factory 225 when on the wheel are they? I know that the Goodyears don't have the thickest sidewall, so assuming they look just fine?

Ps. I'd appreciate a few pics (front and rear) if you don't mind?

Sorry AndyO tyres still at the dealers not been fitted yet, need to get my finger out and get them sorted.

Nope

Money well spent while the tyres are fresh.

[/No need to spend money to get it checked, where I'm going checking is free you only need to pay if it needs adjusting, pretty standard at most places I think.

True, but AndyO had his tyres fitted by a mobile unit, which, I believe, didn't/couldn't provide alignment.

Correct, but I think I will have it checked now.
