Not tried them.

How much do they cost including fitting?

I paid £75 a corner for Goodyear F1 Eagle As2

£55 fitted, sounds a bit too good to be true, however I am not TB, and my tyres are not under great stress. :-\

They may turn out to be a 'false economy'

My experience of the dreaded Wanli Ditchfinder was not good.

The wear rate was extremely high, as was tyre roar. In the wet they were lethal.

£50 a corner if memory serves.

I have Goldway G2000's on mine which just over 12 months ago cost £43 fitted each.  :)

They're black, they're round, reasonably quiet and I havn't found myself in the ditch yet!  :y

Impressive. I guess you need to be able to read an altimeter to figure that out where you live. ;)
