was thinking the proxes 4 ones as they are quite cheap but just read mixed reviews.

Although now Im reading some 205/40 such as falkens come up small, so by running 205/40 falken they would stretch and basically run like 195/40s ? is this true anyone experienced tyres coming up smaller then quoted?

Kwik fit round here will fit if you supply. About £13 a corner when i had mine done.

£13 a wheel!

The garage near us charged £20 for a set of 4 winter tyres to be fitted to my mums audi last week

Just depends where you go I guess, It was just a local independent garage so probably won't have the overheads of a large business such as kwik fit.
