Supply only, I can get the fitted at work for the price of a couple of drinks

I'm after a brand name (i.e Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Toyo etc) and one's that will last a while as I'm too old to worry about performance too much these days.

Where is a good place to look?
I'm after 215/35 18"s btw.......

"Toyo" and "one's that will last a while" should not be used in the same sentence!

Yoko S-Drives - i now swear by them in all weather conditions. Nothing has come close to the amount of grip they offer and they are a fairly hard rubber too

Currently running Yoko Parada's in the same size as your after Jules and I'm really impressed thus far.

Really?? I always swear by Goodyear Eagle F1's, but fancied a change and Muppet suggested the Parada's, they seem good in the wet or dry, although I can't comment on their durability yet.

If your work fits them surely you can get them at cost (or near enough)

Not when what we drive is 50' long single seat shunting lorrys......
Be a tiiiight squeeze getting those wheels on my Coop!
We have our own tyre fitters for all the plant and machinery and they can do road wheels if you drop them off and slip them a few quid.

Re. Toyo's I've had Toyos on my cars for the last 10 years or so I'd say (Not got them on the Coop as it had nearly new Michelins on when I bought it), never had any trouble with them at all - longevity or performance wise and I'd seriously invest in another set for the Coop if they are a reasonable price - but of course I will look at other options.
