Hi Kris,
I know a small two man outfit who are absolutely superb on price. They will beat the big boys hands down!
I had to replace all four tyres on my BMW330 Sport at the end of last year and the price they quoted me almost half the price of the "Big Boys" like Kwik-Fit, ATS and Target Tyres! :?
I have known and dealt with them for years, both as a customer and when I was in business they used me, so we both "Looked after" each other.
I don't think they will do mail order but you could give them a call on 01506 854929 They are called Broxburn Tyres and Exhausts.
Cheers, Clive.

Clive,

I got mine through Black Circles and including fitting and VAT I think they were £98 each.

Just spoken to my supplier and they have told me the've gone up to £68 + VAT including fitting and balancing, so £79.90 per corner. (I suppose that's inflation for you! [no pun intended])
Cheers, Clive.

I was out in my car today and got caught in a downpour. These new Pirelli tyres dont have the wet weather grip that my old Yokohamas have.
Will have to get used to that.

Vredestein has a tyre with a classic look in the size you mentioned, their Sprint Classic is available in 205/70VR15.
