Usually get my tyres from Camskill and never had a problem taking them to a garage to get fitted. Plenty of places nearby for you (assuming you still live in Bingley like your profile location suggests) that will do it for £5 a tyre.

Leeds these days but cheers.

Confidence. It's lacking.

Hilarious on the road where it's immensly irresponsible and dangerous I'm monster fast on roads I know. But it seems to take me far too long to feel comfortable on a track.

I don't know why. It's stupid really.

Hopefully the much slower Mk2 will help me be a better driver and make up time in the corners, I should have enough power to make up for my shitness in the corners, but I will probably spend most of my time indicating right to let people pass; my friends are all a LOT faster than me.

I just seem to take every corner far too sharply and not use enough of the track on exits and entry.

"It's not a race." Haha.

What are peoples experiences with buying tires online (camskill)? Are most garages ok with fitting customer supplied tires?

Tire-shopper have them for £130 each fitted.

Camskill are £101 each + £5 delivery.

I got my EfficientGrips from Tyre Leader, cheapest place for them. Local tyre place fitted them for £4 a wheel.

Total cost for 4 new tyres, fitted, £200 :)

Dunno how much it matters to you guys but... check the date stamps before buying from Tyreleader. They will be on the sidewall, 4 digits, first two are the week number and the last two are the year. Anything over a couple of years old will tend to be pretty hard and may start to crack before you wear the tread out. Stack em high, sell em cheap...
