As you are not far from South Bucks, contact member here - wheels-inmotion - who is normally very competitive for tyres.

I tend to use Dunlop SP9090 or Conti Sport Contact 2s on MV6, with slight preference for Dunlops.

Have Nexen on the tractor, impressed, but bhas a tendency to aquaplane in standing water

Got cheap stuff on Tractor, seem OK until you have aquaplane amounts of water on the ground, then its a bit skittish...

Royal Mail Customers services are about as much use as a used condom smeared in dogshit.  So who knows where the parcel is, as they certainly don't - and the automated ref number they emailed me when I did the online redeliver thingy is apparenetly invalid, and my postcode doesn't exist.  Tossers.

I've noticed you don't have much luck with postal services. ::)

Would you like to swap addresses with me? We seem to get letters for the whole rather street put through our door. >:(

I think it's because he parks his van outside our house, and then can't be @rsed to walk any further up the road.

I have a lot of time for RM.  But their customer services are a waste of space. Utterly pointless. If they are hard up, boot those tossers out to save cash.

Amshat, well, good bloody riddance.

Home Delivery Network or whatever they are called, wasters.

ShittyLink, they are good

DPD or whatever Parceline are called, no problems yet.

A follow up:

I had difficulty getting the Goodyear F1 GSD3, so got the GoodyearF1 asymetrics instead.  I bought 4 tyres and paid £96 each from http://www.camskill.co.uk/ and got them fitted locally for £40.  The asymetrics got good reviews on the web.

I think I saved about £60 compared with a straight visit to the local tyre dealer.

This may be of interest to some of you   :)

I have found that Bracknell Tyres are the cheapest place for tyres. I put Falkens on my Citroen C5 estate and they were pretty good. Not sure how good they would be on a miggy.
