Had a quote today of £94- per tyre, fitted, balanced, new valves etc, from a local tyre place 5 miles from home, Frimley Tyres and Exhaust Centre, part of the Merit Tyre Group. This is for Pirelli Eufori run flats 195/55-16's. The guy at the Tyre place was most helpful when I phoned him, he advised me to order them on the internet rather than over the phone as he would be able to do them £5- cheaper per tyre

. He then called me back on my mobile 5 minutes later to confirm he had my order via their website, had ordered the tyres from the warehouse and they would be available to fit from tomorrow. So I'll be going in there on Saturday morning for 4 nice new lumps of rubber on my Cooper......

I'd recommend Frimley Tyre & Exhaust as I've used them before for tyres and exhausts on previous cars and they always seem pretty good on price and service.I can't necessarily comment on service from the any other branches of the Merit Tyre group as I haven't used them but prices would be the same.

This is interesting. The Tire Rack (USAs big online supplier) has 205/45-R17 RF Euforias listed for $12 (or 7%) MORE than they were about a year ago. This is still the least expensive RF tire in this size over here. The Dunlops don't seem to have changed.
