I've used e-tyres twice and cannot fault them.

I would be careful with this, your car will have tryres fitted with certain speed rating according to manufacturers. You need to fit correct speed rating even if your car won't do 150/170mph etc or you can fail MOT and insurance would be voided.

What does the speed rating mean?

The speed rating is marked on the side of the tyre and indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry the load corresponding with its load index. Example 91V.

"T" rated tyres are designed to carry their load up to 118 MPH
"H" rated tyres are designed to carry their load up to 130MPH
"V" rated tyres are designed to carry their load no faster than 150 MPH
Tyres marked with a "W" and "Y" are designed to go faster than 150 MPH but no faster then 169 & 186 MPH respectively. The "W" & "Y" ratings usually appear with the ZR rating.
The "ZR" rating without a "W" or "Y" indicates no upper limit.
Even if you do not drive at these speeds, the correct specification is essential in order to comply with the vehicle manufactures recommendation and your insurance policy.

I used Mytyres, saved 45% over cheapest local quote, arrived 3 days early, and bunged the boy at the local National Tyres £30 and he fitted them. Very, Very pleased with Mytyres, highly recommended.
