Has anyone bought any new standard tyres for their van profile 195 65 15 91T if so what price did they pay fully fitted? The best I've found up to now are firestone nulti hawks for four are £160.67 delivered then fitting costs.

I recently had one new tyre fitted. £47.18 plus VAT, but no other extra cost. Yours sonds a good deal if they don't sting you for fitting,balance, and old casing disposal costs.

Tyres places round here charge around £15 to fit and balance a tyre so I'd budget for another £60 for fitting.

I just had two continental winter sport ts850 195/65 r15 95xl tyres and they cost me £130 including fitting (I have a mechanic mate ;) ).

That's only £40 a tyre. Are you sure that price is for FOUR?

If it is who is the supplier, as I'm looking too?

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I split my time between Newcastle and Southampton, the tyres are currently in Newcastle, but I can take them with me when I head back south next month if necessary. I have four brand new oe Hankooks for sale.

Well, I had them up for £150, but to tell the truth, I'd forgotten about the cost of having them fitted, so I'd sell them for £120 on a collection only basis. They've done 27 miles, they were driven home from the dealers on a new van and swapped for alloys on the same day.
