I got PS3s from Kwik Fit for £130 fitted

I think Camskill does them £109 ish just for the tyre

+1 for PS3s - quiet and grippy in wet or dry.

I phone around and search the obvious sites, then give a local tyre shop the chance to price match.

Event tyres have always served me well, the home delivery and fitting is very convenient.

I got my Goodyear F1 Assy 2's for £127 FITTED last week. Choose your tyres, choose your fitting centre. Job done  :notworthy:

Or you could go to Kwik fit in shipley, yes i know before people say rip off, expensive. Ask for Bruce - manager or Chris assistant manager. Tell them i sent you. Chris used to to own the silver anniversary golf. They often try to price match most things

I got 4 Goodyear Assy 2's (widely regarded as the best tyres for the mk5 GTI)  fitted for £510  :pomppomp: (for 18's)

Tyre-shopper FTW   :happy2:

Not sure how these compare with your Pilot Sport 2's though. I suppose 19's aren't cheap. . .

Thats a pretty good price there! The pilot sport 2's seem to have very good reviews and I like them. May give the GoodYear tyres a go next time they are due!
