thanks for replies, tyres arrived Monday but my guy could not be bothered to ring me. I am having them fitted as I write. I agree that I did not read the front page at the outset and this was my reason for posting. Sourcing the tyres locally is another matter, I use 205/55 R15 and when I went local, a) they did not have them and suggested I use 198/205!! b) had one or two and the brands were so vague I would not use them, c) could order them but not sure how long it would take, d) could not do balancing and tracking, etc etc. So I found one place that will do the lot but even then it is highly unlikely a) I will get an invoice, b) a printout out of the tracking/wheel alignment but I am learning.
That site is good and I will use them again because I will note the mileage when I get new tryes and not expect it on an invoice. oh for Kwik Fit.
noah
