Get all 4 tyres changed to the same make, I wouldn't run around with different brands on a car and definitely not on a 4WD car.

The problem I am having with this excellent advice is the mainstream tire sellers (who also fit) don't seem to sell mid range ones for the V50 1.6 Drive (R17) 93W (one fa autos sells a 93V vs W which is possible? its 101£ tho)
Would you spend 404£ at fa autos and walk away satisfied on price and quality? I can't see any deals or vouchers for them googling.
The alternative just buying the tires.. which also has limited not cheap choice (the cheaper ones are 93V vs 93W rated), the first cheapest 93W is the Pirelli Cinturato All Season Plus at 97£ I would have to have them delivered and then take them to a garage and I have to wrestle 4 heavy dirty tires into the car.. probably in the rain this being England, the only plus being the boot should be big enough..) and negotiate with the garage the price of putting them on, balancing and disposing.. when I could have them fitted all in for 118£ at national autocenters and might get a bit off using this voucher in the comments from
hotukdeals/yellow pages? 15% off DV412 voucher
To look for tyres to just buy and deliver I used

Maybe there are other sites, though I am a bit tired of tires now
having googled through yesterday while watching the football and tennis. I should probably do some studying now..
