Just ordered these from mytyres:

Pirelli Scorpion Winter 255/55 R18 105V N0 2
Pirelli Scorpion Winter 235/60 R18 103V N0 2

£ 666.60

Not a bad price at all.

What a great, friendly forum this place is - thanks again everyone.

Make sure the tyres are put on to each wheel the right way, it obvs makes a difference when you have different sized wheels and directional specific tyres. Nearly caught my tyre guy out!
That's very basic, many tyres are directional now regardless of size. The only difference with unequal sizes of wheels is that each tyre can only fit on one corner, precluding swapping to even out wear.
