    For next time..

    I have always managed to get "Kwik Fit" to price match, be it a local independant garage, or blackcircles etc. Really depends on the tyre & how many your buying.

    I would travel the country, so having a place local which i can take the car too if i had a problem was essential.

    For future reference, the rear tracking of most run of the mill hatchbacks is NOT adjustable. :)

    Ditto.

    And make that most hatchbacks, sedans, estates, convertibles, coupes and MPVs. ;)

    Except my Proton Impian, which has true 4 wheel adjustment and Lotus engineered suspension. :p

    Inherited from its Mitsubishi underpinnings :)

    Didn't think the Impian was new enough for Lotus involvement?

    My advice would be to find a local tyre specialist, the one all the taxi drivers probably go to.

    Avon tyre's might be a good choice, premium brand, not too shabby, not too expensive.

    I've seen it from £50 to £90.

    he forgot to mention it was in 1990

    Close it was last year. Or was it the year before? errrr??
    £10 to hook it up and £5 a corner for adjustment.. Or was it £15 and £5? :D

    £15 hookup and £5 at most...

    But the Ford Focus rear toe is adjustable.
