As above, I'm looking for 4 EF1s fitted but looking at buying from the net. Cheapest I've found is £75 a corner from blackcircles.com, does anyone know anywhere that's cheaper?

phone your local tyre place, a lot of the time they can match internet prices.

Shit, forgot to say it's 195/45/15's.
Cheers Edd, don't think I'll be taking them to mcconnechy's if i do that though - they're a bunch of cowboys in my experience. When you picking the new motor up?
The cheapest I can find them is £74-odd with fitting included, but camskill.com do them delivered for £57. I think I'd be able to get them fitted for a tenner a corner so this whole price with fitting just seems like a way to covertly charge you more for fitting, £17 for fitting is taking the piss.

I've thought about the rainsports, I might actually go for them.
McConnechey's fitted a universal exhaust to my mates' motor, after 3hrs of waiting we came back to find that the tailpipe had a big flat in it - the bastards had droppped it right on the tailpipe and just fitted it anyway. I noticed and said something, so the genious in charge brought a ball pein hammer over and started trying to batter it round instead of offering a new one. Couple that to the fact that the welding looked like it had been done by a 3 yr old and the fact that it ended up failing, taking the full exhaust system with it costing my mate £120 and you've got a bunch of tards that I wouldn't let touch my motor. Plus, I took a wee runaround polo there for MOT - the exhaust had the smallest blow in it, the apprentice told me it would pass though after hearing it. But when it came to the list of failures he said it was too much of a blow, started going on about noxious gases in the cabin - it was a blow just before the backbox, it just so happened that macconnechey's is an exhaust specialist... arseholes. As long as the price is right it'd be fine for them to fit the tyres I suppose but I'd be keeping an eye on them.

Ended up just going for rainsports 2's, I've wanted to try them for a while now and they were only £55 a corner fitted. I'm sending them to Mcconnechey's in EK Edd, hopefully it's just the Thornliebank one that's full of monkeys.
