I got my Michelins cheaper than that.

Black circles are slightly dearer for f1.
little rushed as my car is the wifes daily and can't have front tyres as they are with her and little one in it so need them fitted tomorrow locally

I've bought set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 255/35 R19 96Y XL for £596 from tyreleader.co.uk, two weeks ago.
Highly recommended, delivery took 2 days, you can get them delivered to one of their "friendly" garages and have them fitted, I've used Projex UK in Clevedon, £72 to fit them.
Mind, the tyres may be dearer now as they went up in price since I had first seen them on the tyreleader.co.uk.

Sounds expensive lol

Looks good. Will be great with springs.
Bit of a stretch on the 9" rims. Watch the kerbs!

That's gonna be one hard ride when lowered! Watch out for potholes

Haven't driven on a rough surface yet, on my local roads it doesn't really feel any different though. I'm only dropping 5 in profile from 35 so I guess maybe only on bad roads will it get harder. Again though the h & r springs I've read give a very similar ride to the sline springs so hoping not to have much affect
As to streach, yes they very slightly and kerbs for the wife will be a problem and I forsee becoming friendly with my local refurb man
