I have been researching sources for tyres and have stumbled accross these:

https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/

They are based in Germany and their prices undercut all the other cheapie providers in the UK (such as black circles and the like) by about £20 a tyre. They courier the tyres to you which arrive in about 2 - 3 days. There are a lot of positive things being said about them on the internet. I have no affiliation with the company but if you know someone who provides a fitting only service you could save yourself a few quid...

Ok so thanks to this forum thread I am likely to be 200-300 quid lighter in a moment. My Porsche currently has Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II tyres on the rear and I have noticed that the tread on one of them is very low and need replacing. The Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II tyres on the back are directional tyres.

Im currently considering replacing it with a different tyre brand because I am not convinced the Nankangs are great tyres, (although the sideways action I have experienced twice might be due to the lack of tread).

I have been looking at the reviews for the Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres. The problem I have got is that the Goodyear is Asymmetric. I'm sure there's rules about mixing and matching tyres and types of tyres etc so the question is what are the rules?? As mentioned, the other rear tyre is also Nankang Directional tyre which has plenty of tread left so I don't really want to shell out for 2 tyres when I only need 1.
