As promised Mick, she chose and fitted 5 of THESE @ £425-40 all up price. Covered 250 miles with them since (Cornwall visit to Son and Mrs) and although 55 instead of 60's they are excellent handling tyres so far and encourage you to explore the envelope including swallowing up the ample pot holes more readily unlike the previous ageing P600 fit running at 20psi.

She suggested 25psi as a start point for these, I would say she is bang on the mark there.

After another 2,000 mls she will check wear rates relative to pressures.
Recently fitted those to Mrs Deejay’s Mini Cooper a few months back, and they seem fine.

As an aside, purchasing from blackcircles in the past, because I did not favour any of their local fitting agencies, I requested delivery direct to my home. When I saw them, I thought for a moment that I had been given second hand tyres! Unfortunately, they were dispatched without any wrapping and had gathered huge amounts of fine cardboard dust from the floor of the delivery wagon. It had ingrained into all the patterns and writing on the side walls and took a lot of scrubbing to remove. My recent Morgan tyres were purchased from my favoured local tyre shop, and although they were about £4 dearer than BC , there was a Spring offer going of £10 cashback per tyre, so I ended up better off. Lesson learned…online isn’t always guaranteed to be cheapest.
