Someone with a bit of knowledge, or will do exactly as you ask. To get the exact tyres you want buy them online and get them fitted by a garage, its not that expensive ;)

I get my tyres off eBay, some good deals. My mate charges £7 a wheel to fit.

Looking on eBay can be 'tyring', there are some crap tyres on there tho so 'tread' carefully

Yep - try http://www.camskill.co.uk/, http://www.blackcircles.com/ and http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ - one of them will have a decent deal for sure :D

Try kwikfit online also. They are really cheap and im some cases cheaper than camskill plus fitting at a garage. It is kwikfit though.

I'll get them from blackcircles and pick the mobile fitter who's always fitted my tyres.

I'm going to get some Khumo KU39's, same as my girlfriends car and all the reviews are very good.

I was going to get Falken 425's like I had on the last Prelude but it seems people have started to realise that they're good tyres and the price has shot up.
