These people have been mentioned before, but I can't see any reference to them in this section.
www.moto-tyres.co.uk/
I've now used them a number of times, most recently for a Metzeler Tourance rear tyre for the Tenere, which was cheaper than anywhere else I could find, allowing for the fact that their prices include delivery. Considering that they ship from Germany, or possibly even Poland (there's a .pl somewhere in one of the links), they've always delivered within a week of ordering.
I also recently had a set of steel wheels fitted with winter tyres from them for the car. These were actually cheaper than a set of the OEM low profile tyres only, and should be much better in the present conditions - not too difficult, mind you, 45-section low profiles have absolutely no grip when it snows. Ride quality is also better, and with the steel wheels I won't be so uptight when the Mrs bangs into kerbs!
For some reason they shipped them in two lots, and the first pair to arrive had no balance weights. I e-mailed them and got a prompt reply telling me to get them done locally and send the bill "up to £30". In fact it only cost £12, and they credited my card within a couple of days of me posting it off to their UK office (which is in Charlbury, just up the road from here - though they don't have a depot there, unfortunately).
Overall I'm very satisfied with their service.
