Actually, looks like what I already have is not ad on prices at the moment...
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Tyre
255/55YR18 2 £242.24
Coupon TS5 5% discount if you spend more than £200
£-12.11
Total £230.13
* All prices include fitting, including valves, balancing and casing disposal, and VAT at 20.0%
What are tyre-shopper like... looks like they use National Tyres and Autocare to fit.

I didn't shop around much. Eyres.co.uk came to about £104 each, kwik fit came to £101 each all in for 225/40R18, so went for that.
+2% cashback if you use quidco.

Very tempted... Just found out when i put the rears on. They are only 2.5 years old 
Edit: Just realised I select the wrong size (35s not 55s!), not that it made that much difference to the price

Yeah I already have premium contacts on the rear of the car and will swap out the awful ER370's on the front when they need changing. I used to really like the ER300's a few years ago and had them on both our cars.
Sadly the Mrs new skoda came with them fitted

Which of these winter tyres would you go for?
and for the mrs car...
More limited option just using Black circles as a starting point..
Thanks
I would buy the TS850 out of all of those, it was the highest rated when I was looking. It also had the best non-snow performance, which frankly matters as some of these winter tyres are fairly dire in normal conditions.
Careful, tyre companies want to keep that a secret which is why they only let winter tyres get benchmarked against crap tyres in wet tests
Give over. He wants winter tyres and is going to the alps a few times this season as well as Scotland. Not everyone is in your situation.
My tyres need replacing and I would've liked a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2's however they do not appear to do 265/35/R19 size for the rear? I can only find the older AS's in that size and not the AS2.
Has anyone on here tried the Hankook S1 Evo 2 tyre? It seems to get interesting reviews.

Must be something better than that available? What else can you get?

Obvious choices are the Pirelli P Zero, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 or Continental SC 5P. I know they're all decent tyres however the reviews don't give an idea of wear rate. I'm getting through rear tyres quickly at the moment so I want a tyre that'll last a reasonable amount of miles!
Yes and they're probably my favourite at the moment. Some people are saying they make a lot of noise though.
