Need two tyres for the Skoda soon, just firing cheap shit on it so Nankang NS2's are order of the day.
Looking on ebay, seen some for £35 each:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nankang-195-55-15-Sport-NS2-Tyres-1955515-/120698291254?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&hash=item1c1a2dc436
Looked at the delivery 
£19.00 for delivery to the majority of Scotland
£18.75 to half of Europe
Seriously, how on earth can it be cheaper to post two tyres to fucking Liechtenstein than it is to Scotland?
Twats

Have the same problem mate, Aberdeen is now in the highlands according to most people on eBay. However, 4 miles towards the coast takes me out of the highlands at my work??

For budget tyres they are pretty decent.Never had any problems to report and will continue using them when need be.
Cant you get the delivered somewhere that isn't classed as the highlands??

Not bought them yet buddy, just looking atm.
Seen two khumo KU31's for £94, might go for them.
Ellis, its bullshit, few of the MP's up here were running a campaign for equal prices throughout the UK, madness that we are charged so much extra.

Totally, Aberdeen is meant to be the oil capital of Europe yet it's classed as being in the highlands? Get this day in day out at work, companies want extra to deliver to Aberdeen. Absolute joke...

I'd guess it was based off being in the middle of no where and number of deliveries there - i.e. they can't stick other orders that are within X mile radius because, well, there are none.

We're classed as offshore for some reason...
There is rail links, planes roads etc etc, it's fucking stupid.
Tried my work Chris?

Iv never had a problem with being charged extra for being AB56 postcode, must just be my luck with companies Iv bought from. My gf stays half an hour away, falls into the IV30 postcode and gets classed as the bloody highlands. They should go take a look at a map
