So... who's got the best price for supply and fitting for a full set then??
Might treat myself to a set in time for Teeside...
Cheers,
Dave.

think elise parts are the best for supply, circa £260 IIRC, but there's only a few £ in it compared to other places.
Had them mailed up and a local tyre place fit them.
My uncle's a rep for national tyres, can get tyres for pretty much anything, but not these.

That was rears only. i've not had to fit any fronts in 11k, but have burnt my way through two sets of rears.

Cool... thanks folks.
Phoned MMC earlier and they quoted £445 all in. Didn't ask for a special price or anything either.
Pat on the back for MMC today then!

I take it there would be no probs fitting the Neovas just before Teeside.... i.e. they aren't like the Toyos/BFGs in that they are a bit rubbish until they have done 1000 or so miles!?!?
Cheers,
Dave.

no, just a thrash to get the releasing compound off them will be fine. A7 and bonchester bridge road should do it

Yup... but with fitting at a different place still comes to £424ish.... so happy to pay an extra £20 to save the hassle and time...
Dave.

Just spoke to MMC - they offered to fit four Neovas for £450! Bad MMC!
They have no fronts in and can't guarantee delivery of them before 11am on Saturday, when they're also fully booked. I don't know when you're booked in Dave but I hope you've made sure they've got what you want, when you want it fitted.
I'm booked in for next Saturday!
Mike.
