I'm pricing them for my Megane. Camskill are cheap without fitting. However since I would want fitting I believe Black Circles are looking best.
I would never previously consider financing tyres but Black Circles also have them at 0% interest free for 6 months. Makes paying £760 quid for a set easier to stomach.

I've not personally considered it until now, but I dont see the problem really?. I'll no doubt buy them on my Credit card interest free but I just saw Black circles advertising it on Michelins.

They were offering 0% finance on tyre pressure gauges on Demon Tweeks when I looked the other day...

I took it too!
140 monthly payments of 50p a month with 1p cash back at the end and a voucher to last years cup final.

But a digital guage will be more accurate, easier to read, smaller and cheaper?

What's most important about pressure guages than actual accuracy though. As you can always calibrate for accuracy once and then you know the offset.
To my point above, if you know best then spend your money as you prefer. I'm not seeking critique or advice from people who think they know best. My money, my purchase, my shiny gauge.
But do you use BP or Shell air?
Please, only the finest bottled air taken from the lungs of blue whales and baby dolphins.
Soon I hope T-Rex's as I have some experiments taking place on an island off the coast of.....well that's too much information, but I think are about to make a breakthrough!
Im hoping we can crush them to make a new type of freshly squeezed dino-petrol.

Been using maxxis on my car for a while. Reasonably priced and keep me on the road
Hi,
Hoping for some assistance as it's the first time I've had to buy tyres since getting the car it's a 325i m sport coupe with 225/40R18 fronts, 255/35 R18 rears with michelin pilot sport (runflats) - I currently only really need the rears but not sure if these are the best for the car or would I be better off changing all 4 and moving to a different type?
Cheers!

Runflats are much better than they used to be but I wouldn't want to use them myself. IMO the added cost and potential for hassle reduction is not something I'd want to trade for now.
I would recommend looking at Michelin Pilot Sport 4, which should be available in these sizes, and would also consider only replacing the rears at this point if that's what's needed, unless the fronts are also close to needing replacement as well.
