I can second blackcircles, you can have them delivered to and fitted at a garage locally. They used to be on topcashback but unfortunately aren't anymore.

Ill third blackcircles.

And the incident I mentioned with the "red" tyres was Volvo, part of the same group- possibly the same policies.

I would seriously recommend an independent check before you go any further!

Yeah I'll have them checked first, thank you for sharing your experience! I just didn't want to be driving around with bald tyres, especially with 2 very young kids in the car (the kids are the main reason I want to have them replaced as I don't want to put them in any danger. I won't take them out in the car when it's snowy but I have to take my youngest to see a specialist but will definitely get them checked first before replacing them!) and the winter checks the police are doing are quite strict...apparently you get 3 points if your screenwash is frozen/run out!

What size are the tyres?

Try www.blackcircles.com

There might also be garages (or scrapyards) in your area that sell part worn tyres. With one of my old cars it was so bad on tryes it was scrubbing one each month £11 at the scrappy and it would be sorted until the next month That was until I found £150 to get the tracking done and all 4 tyres replaced with cheapos - only had to replace one then in the next 18 months (puncture)

I think they're 16.5

ETA - I just went out to check and they're 16, not 16.5

vaio

the size will be four parts

width, some where between 135 & 235

profile, somewhere between 40 & 70

diameter in inches, some where between 12 & 17

and load/speed rating, normally letters

example 225/40 R17 98Y

I always use Blackcircle,a really good company to deal with.

CEM Days FORD Swansea always try and catch me for tyres before they are due!

I was thinking of them because last time I got ripped off from a independent also tried to flog a new exhaust although occasion makes a slight noise as it is leaking its past 2 MOT's since

The very best price we've had is in Alness & they are quick.
The garage is just behind the High St. They wholesale tyres to other garages, but fit them. It's always busy - which is a good sign, but for the life of me I can't remember their name - it's something like true tread. They have a car assessory shop on the main st & the garage is at the back.

Good Tread? http://www.goodtread.com/

I usually go to Inverness Tyre service down the carse. And there's Budget over on millburn rd, usually good prices but not as good service

There's also the Kwik fit over on Longman Road but like I said, I didn't know where to go!

Vaio the numbers on the tyres are 208 55 R 16 but Blackcircles couldn't find me any tyres like that...will any speed rating do as they can find tryres with any speed rating?

Savemoney I too am looking for tyres for my focus...bloody car had been hassle that it's worth and it's not even 3yrs old yet!
