Right, finally got the tracking number to work on DPD UK web site, and it shows it out for delivery today between 5.30 and 6.30.
Here's hoping... 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

The ATR's I bought from Openeo were send via DPD. My experience of their tracking system wasn't good. It told me that the two tyres had returned to the depot as they couldn't be delivered. A few minutes later they arrived!
Sure you'll be fine though Martin. Hopefully you'll soon have the unmistakable aroma of new ATR

Oh dear, I guess it didn't turn up as planned then!
Anyway, seeing as the outfit seem genuine, I need to decide between ATRs or LTZs. I had settled on LTZs before this offer surfaced. What to do.... Andy

DPD did deliver my tyres but as already said the tracking system was next to useless. I assume that internet tyre dealers have struck a cut price deal with them.
If you need tyres in hurry it's probably best not to order them from internet providers where the tyres are coming from outside the UK. Although to be fair to Openeo and it would seem tyredealers also, the tyres arrive in the UK within a day or two, it's DPD that screw things up.
Methley, if you want a drive of my D4 on ATRs let me know. You're not far from me and I can come back from my office via Jct18.

As I said Andy, I've got little choice...

I'm sure you'd love me to buy a complete set of 4 of something but not viable at the moment

Many thanks LT. Actually I have experience of ATRs and know them to be a great option. What I don't know is the LTZ. One concern is reports that it is fairly noisy on tarmac. However Ent has assured me they are fine! Andy
