Just a quick one, only ever replaced tyres once on my corsa and i can't remember how much it cost me to have them swapped over. I'm just trying to work out if it'll be cheaper to buy them fully fitted off tyreshopper etc, or buy them without fitting and pay someone else to do them?
i'm replacing all 4 tyres in 15's if that makes any difference 
if i'm being a n00b and i should "just wait til tomorrow and ring kwik fit or somewhere" then please tell me so

Ive seen it from as low as £5 right up to around £12.50 fitted and balanced.All depends on wheather they are off the car etc.
Im pretty sure my local kwik-fit charged me £10 to do a change over on a Sunday(cash in the pocket).

What you after? In all seriousness, we are usually the cheapest around so it would be worth a phone call.

Use to charge for the tyre, and then 12.50 to get rid of old tyre, balancing etc..

i was thinking toyo proxe PX4s. lee swears by them and they're half the price of the bridgestones i have on now  the bridgestones are also rocking horse poo
size is 195/50/15, demon tweeks are doing them for £30 a corner.

have you tried sourcing RE010's recently?
any particular model warren? i'm open to ideas.
the DC2 boys seem to bum off reinforced sidewalls, so the PX4 seemed like a natural choice, but i'll be the first to admit i don't know much about the matter
