OMG... That WAS a good spot then if it was an advertising/website fault. Glad I bought 2 sets now. Let's hope they honour the sale.

I ordered 4 tyres and clicked pay by Visa, but was taken to a Paypal website so decided not to take that route any further. I have a confirmation email and now trying to get through to Customer services but not having much luck. I doubt very much any of the orders you guys have placed will be processed

When I was having trouble ordering on the web, I called to see if I could order by phone. The guy said he knew about some web issues but I couldn't order the heavily discounted tyres by phone. He didn't suggest it was pricing error.

I have an order acknowledgement and a receipt. Doesn't that amount to a contract?

Reading elsewhere suggests they'll be refunding all the purchases - E&OE gives them the authority to do so as contract isn't completed until they're shipped....

Pity as would've ordered some winters!

If you're willing to push them they might go though with it Jim, but in the first instance they're going to try and snatch it back. Might be a get out clause due to the "incorrect" price. Just like they would have if they were accidently marked up over the RRP
