Yes, started in Edinburgh.
I am sure in regard to price it is all down to who is doing the best discount on the day but the difference was over ?100 per tyre. Obviously I'm not a good Scotsman because I gave the guy who fixed my puncture ?20 anyhow. Do agree tho that its probably not a worthwhile journey to Forfar.
Toofar to Forfar- before Norm says it

I always look at Camskill Tyres when choosing a new tyre or buying a replacement. It's mail order so you need a tame local fitter (not all will fit another suppliers tyres) but have found Camskill's site excellent for choosing a tyre based on size as the website offers all makes and ranks them by wet grip, dry grip and noise with prices/availablity/delivery timescales obvious. Highly recommended.
Well Kwik Fit customer services replied saying they needed to know that they could accommodate the vehicle to change the tyres, in case I arrived in an artic. Why I would want 225/45 R16 on an artic eludes me.
They offered ?30 in vouchers for the inconvenience.
I wish they would fix their website so it has all cars, accept manual entry or allow the popup to be bypassed with some sort of disclaimer about vehicle size.
Plus 1 for Camskill. I think it was Robin who put me on to them. No nonsense and I've found if you take an interesting set of wheels to most tyre fitting places they fall over themselves to help.
Have you tried Demon Tweeks? They used to be pricey but I've found their tyre prices to be quite competitive lately, eg. Toyo Proxes R888Rs are ?116 in 225/45-R16 size, Yoko AO52s are ?172.
The last time I ordered tyres from DT it turned out that they did not have them in stock, did not know when they could get them or even guarantee if they could get them so they just sent a refund.
The same tyres that they couldn't get are still listed on the website now.
