    Thanks for all the replies everyone.

    Had a look at all the links and went for Blackcircle ..With a 5% discount code found on Hotukdeals ..
    Fitting at a place round the corner from work ...
    I thought the grip was going a bit on the front ...I had a closer look today and the tread is far more worn than I thought ..The weather will only get worse so well worth a look down at bumper level this time of year ..
    Thanks again ...hopefully I won't bump into any of you in the future :)

    Federals :-) no site suggestions got to your local (non national eg not quick fit) tyre man and ask him to do you a deal on some 535`s or 595`s ;-)
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    I will ask them to rotate the tyres front and back ...I didn't even think of that ..
    The rear tyres are quite old and one of the problems with Telford and all it's roundabouts is front tyre wear ..

    Do you think there will be a charge to swap front for back ...and if so how much roughly ?

    How old are the tyres? - They may need replacing as well as they can degrade over time....

    Front to backing the tyres shouldn't cost too much on it's own as it's hardly a long job, but you'll probably need to look at the balancing and or tracking as you'll notice the difference more at the front.
