ATS - What size? Are you sure? No we have none.
Kwik Fit - Nope
Various other local outlets - Could get you some ordered (budget crap that is)
All rather frustrating. Ideally want Uniroyal or Michelin premium stuff. Fat chance!

Try camskill first like Si said.
If for any reason they can't sort you, I've used www.blackcircles.com a couple of times for my missus car.
You can choose delivery only of fully fitted at a local independent.

Also www.Blackcricles.co.uk and www.Etyres.co.uk also list a few options
Yeah, I had the same problem a couple of years ago when I was after Michelin Pilots.BEERBOY123 wrote:ATS - What size? Are you sure? No we have none.

There would be 1,2 or 3 in stock or none atall. In the end, National tyres tracked me a set down - keep persevering!!

the alternative is to go for a 205/50/15, there cheaper far more common and less rolly polly on the sidewalls, trade off is the car will sit a little lower and feel stiffer due to stiffer sidewalls.
iv been using the maxxis maz4 in this size for about 6 months now, pretty good and weighed in at £240 fitted for 4 as maxxis have little to no reputation in this country.

Camskill for me. Fantastic service, and damn good on price. Pop round to your local tyre monkeys, and they fit and balance for next to nothing.
I'm running 205/55/15 Yokohoma A539's as summer tyres, which are very grippy, but are noisy.
And as an alternative, i'm running 195/60/15 Goodyear Ultragrip 8's as a winter tyre, and these are fantastic tyres, and don;t look out of place size wise.
Both are on 15" BBS.
Happy hunting.
