F1 fully fitted - £47.90 (less £2 with a code - see vouchers section)
When I've checked out locally the price to fit a supplied tyre, they usually charge about £15 including valve, balancing and disposal of old tyre. (You might find the odd place who will do it for £10 if you are lucky - but remember what they say when you pay someone peanuts :wink:)
Really isn't worth the hassle of having a tyre delivered and then taking it somehwere and asking them to fit it.
When F1 supply & fit the tyre, they give you a free lifetime repair warranty on it :smiley:
(worth about £20 per repair, including new valve and re-balance)

I too check with F1 all the time, indys esp part worn places expect to pay a tenner each, if its going to be only a tenner difference for the set I just go with inc fitting price and forgo the hassle.

I replaced an non eco pair of Continental tyres with these on my wife's Corsa. MPG improved over a 1000 mile period by 2mpg, so worth fitting. Excellent low noise and wet braking as well, plus tyre life was long.

Bought these April 2015. Lovely and smooth and quiet. But you have to change them in Winter. One cold morning it rained for five minutes, instantly froze a small patch and I had no traction at all. Went downhill through a junction and only just avoided being sideswiped. I now have all-weather tyres on as I can't afford two complete changes of tyres a year.

Going downhill and with a frozen road is treacherous for anyone and in any road vehicle and tyres?

Good tyres in the dry and wet, so quiet but they wear very quickly and the side walls are very soft so expect a to replace them frequently if your a kerb toucher

Much less hassle to order tyres from t'internet incl fitting imo, and I'd be surprised if, by using the code MACATYRE15 on http://www.protyre.co.uk you would pay much more for these fully fitted. But, lazy swine that I am, I haven't tried...
Edit: Decided to try and comes to 85 quid for 2 incl delivery and fitting. I know which method I would go for but each to their own...
