E-tyres usually work out pretty well on Falkens including the fitting. They also come up pretty good on the Toyo T1R, which IMHO is a better midrange tyre (sacriligeous statement, I know, but I have sold a tyre or too so I'll dare to be different ).

Either way, you won't get a lot cheaper than that if at all.

Is that for 18's?
It's very cheap for 19's.

As your from Berks, ring Bracknell Tyre & Battery I've found them very good on Falkens in the past - 01344 205681

Just to throw a curve ball in I priced up on camskill then called ATS who quickly dropped the price by over £60, all in all I would of saved £20 but the hassle of delivery etc was not worth worrying over, tyres fitted no hassle £417..

worth asking your local place you may be surprised..

That's a good price

Worth ringing around for a price match though as msport suggested.

Last time I was after tyres I found Protyre to be competitive, local and in stock for what I wanted.

Time before KwikFit were cheapest when booked 'on-line' and a booking for fitting was made at the same time and the tyres were delivered direct to the fitting centre.

My local small tyre shop was cheaper than Camskill all fitted.
Ask around, mines a Falken dealer so you get the free tyre waranty too.
