After much trawlling of the internet and phoning round I have found what I think is the best deal for GG ATs, fitted, in Central Scotland (West) for 255/55 19 (that I could find anyway).
I came accross a post by Graeme (Flying Scotsman) and he mentioned Forsyths of Denny (Crane hire and transport), they come in at £165 fitted per corner. AJS was a very good price but even delivered for free and then £10 a corner for fitting it worked out a little more expensive.
Forsyths were at least £15 a corner cheaper than anywwhere else I could find locally.

I think Denny is classed as "no mans land"  There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.

IMHO nothing can compare to Forgewood (back of Motherwell but not as 'upper class' as Ravenscraig!) - we were working at a site there in the early '90s when the local 'youths' were dismantling the BR scaffolding from a c.60-80' high bridge and throwing them down at us - even with plod in attendance  We used to have a saying - they eat their young, and burn the doors at christmas Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE

Dave T, that's the same price I was quoted from
Ladybank Tyres for 255/60/18 GG At
That was each but they would knock £5 off each if I took 4
Used AJS instead as only wanted 2 at the time

D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten

I got 18" from A1 in East Kilbride for less. Surely 18" should be more expensive than 19" as the hole in the middle is smaller although the outside is the same circumference. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.

I'll run out and buy some 18s then, doesn't matter if they won't fit my wheels! Or over my brake calipers 
Looking at camskill, 19s are about £27 more each, I would imagine most places will follow that sort of price differential! Joined the BMWX5 45e group
