I have found that if I buy the tyres online, I can save a good amount and it may be worth pushing for a full set as I have gone for a different tread type.

Camskill are worth a look but also Protyre local centres - they're all owned by what was Micheldever who are a distributor. They were the cheapest by miles for my 20" Michelin Super Sports on my D2 - paid £240 each for them, unfitted as I took them in with my wheels to be refurbished and got them to do it. Worth a couple of calls once you've established the best online price and you can probably get a few quid more off.
On the tyre rotation front, if you're replacing a pair put the newest on the back. It gives safer handling, allows your new tyres a gentler time during bedding in so they last longer, makes you wear out the old tyres on the front end quicker so they're not too aged. If putting 4 on check your spare and if it's as old as the car consider rotating one of your removed tyres onto the spare wheel, if they're a good few years newer and still serviceable.
