Expecting mine tomorrow, but for info, was chatting to the really helpful guy at my local black circles fitting station. They can also fit tyres that weren't bought via them. Pretty handy for me, and Wasnt aware myself, so thought I would share... Toyota Rav4 2.0

Had mine swapped over today at local tyre fitters. Ride seems good and quieter than the somewhat tired Contis the FL came with. They'd done 28k miles and still had around 3mm left _OK but not enough for winter! Will see how the Nokians do by comparison . FL No 1 - 2012 (MY2011) XS manual Firenze Red - Gone

Got mine on last week. Definitely a reduction in road noise from my scorpion zeros. They look good too. Had them on motorway today and first impressions were great. Will check back in once the snow comes! Toyota Rav4 2.0

Hi - do you mind saying how much the Costco tyres were? I am after the same but aren't a member at the minute.

So far impressed with the Nokians. Had them on for just over a week and done about 500 miles so far. Seem to be quieter than the previous Contis - don't have to turn music up so loud! Feel like they roll Ok and absorb road bumps and uneveness well - but might be due to more tread on the tyre! Economy probably on a par with previous tyres but have done a couple of longer runs and got over 40mpg which is good for me

Hi, seem to think they were in the £...85/90 range...had a voucher for £20 cash back from michelin as well...think its one of those quick. time expired deals..I know they are promoting bridgestone tyres at the moment. I had to visit the store as deals werent on the internet. Very pleased with the michelins |

I might have to get a membership and have a look. Good to know that you rate the latitude cross tyres too. |

Id say avoid Tyreleader like the plague. I had terrible trouble getting just one motorcycle tyre delivered to me. As has already been said, there's no contact number and you can only talk to them via a 'ticket' system. I noticed my mistake in the address door number immediately after ordering and attempted to correct it minutes later. Here's the transcript of the 'ticket' correspondence. Apologies for the swearing!

I'll avoid them then - actually I had a bad experience with them a few years ago. |

I have had the opposite experience with them. Ordered a Mitas E07 rear tyre for my Triumph Tiger800XC and it was delivered 3 days later at a better price than anywhere else. The weird thing is that the tyre came from Paris. |

I suppose looking back, HAD they taken notice of the address amendment, I too would have had it in three days from France. It was the abysmal follow up service that really inconvenienced me. Just the ability to speak to a person over the phone could have sorted it out quicker. So, if you do use them, get everything right from the off and make sure you are in when they turn up with it or you will have major grief. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I suppose it's the same with any service. If it goes right everything's great but when it cocks up it's hell.
