I've used Blackcircles in the past but when I went to have them fitted by a local tyre depot they said they could supply the same tyres for slightly less so next time I went straight to them. Possibly worth phoning around.
Thanks, camskills seem cheap but don't you have to add fitting on top? Also should I be careful which fitters I use because of the sline alloy wheels? Lastly, could I fit conti 5's on the front but keep the conti 2's on the rear?
I think the offer is for at least four tyres if I am correct. If not please link me to the site...
Some quality local independants in your area:

I recently used tyresonthedrive.com excellent price and service. Told the fitter I was a bit enthusiastic about my motors so he was very careful - took before and after pictures and also let me remove the old balance weights.
Ok but how do you get the tyres, I cannot see any link to purchase them mail order only locations of warehouses, unless I am being stupid. If I have to travel my nearest one is in thorrock, a round trip of over 100 miles...
Ok thanks I'll take a look, how much will you be paying to have them fitted, that's if you already know...
Varies between tyre centres that come up in your location from £10-15 and you get them delivered there like black circles. I have 4 wheels off the car so hopefully I can negotiate to have that 4 fitted cheaper.
There are so many options when you look at the online sites. Ones with or with out rim protection. With or without extra load. Winter wheels with / without mud and snow symbols. Audi approved ect., but you probably allready know this. The Continental 5's 18" audi spec came in at £81 a corner and TS850 winters in 16" came in at £66.50 a corner.
On my last a3 i had a mix of potenzas on the front and PS3 on back and it just ended up understearing.

Booked in at a place called M-Tech, no to be confused with the bodyshop but probably the same enterprise, through blackcircles. £208 for the two including fitting for oe conti 2's. So having to replace tyres that are just over 7000 miles old...
