eTyres - they are just as cheap yet they come out to you, where ever you are (within 48 hrs). The 2 above you have to order them then go to one of their suppliers which are not always close and its still a 48 hour turnaround.
eTyres fitted some for me in Swansea and the service was good. Had the other two tyres fitted near Manchester and they were late by 3-4 hours but apart from that, not a problem.

Blackcircle use Protyres for their fitting, but I found the last set of 4 tyres I bought recently that just dropping in on Protyres for a price got me a better price then the Blackcircles quoted on-line fitted price
