I think Roberto is in Derbyshire but try www.wheelcourier.com if you need wheels or tyres or both collected and delivered, they are very good

Second hand tyres are generally overpriced on e-bay. It might be worth sticking yours on e-bay and see if you get lucky. There is one slightly different size at more reasonable price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-X-255-35...item41717fb739

For the best prices you need to search for small local tyre places that import second hand tyres from Germany buying full containers of assorted tyres. They basically get them for a cost of delivery and therefore can sell cheap. It's a bit harder to get full set of 4 tyres but if you don't mind waiting it is possible.

Hello Roberto

That particular ebay tyre has been for sale since late November that I know of. I currently have 3 virtually new FK452's and I'm looking for another 1 or 2.
I think ainarssems is right, on ebay I've seen individual FK's go for over £60 with a stated 4-5mm of tread (and £10 carriage). Four at a reasonable price might appeal to someone selling their car if tyres are gettting towards the limit, being all the same brand helps as well.

If you decide to split I could be interested in the meatier two if they are solid 6mm across the width of each tyre and a good price depending how much carriage works out at.
