Prices change all the time. That seems steep though. Best bet is to phone around.

Your tracking is out, get yourself into the dealer and start complaining, you should get your tyres replaced

Do a search here - this topic comes up quite regularly and numerous suppliers have been mentioned.

I've had the same problem - and Henry Bros were decidedly bad at fixing it. Look for a thread in the techy bit called 'disillusioned' - that has all the details in it.

Tyres - Henry Bros did them for me (2 fronts, 16" runflats, just over £200 fitted and balanced).

I get 2 x 17'' pirelli run flats from a garage in Aberdeen for £117 each fitted. Kwik-Fit quoted me £183 each for the same tyres

blackcircles and mytyres online used to do them for about the same price if you can find somewhere to fit them
