I bought mine about 2 weeks ago, had no problems with them, chatted to them on the phone and got them the day they said they would be there, very helpful people.
the tyres seem to be very good for the money too

Falkens wear out quickly, I've got Kuhmo now, better tread pattern and last much longer and only £2 extra each.

Toyo's get mullered be any kind of road, they wont last long at all, but the grip well in the dry
all this summer/winter tyre crap is nonsense, you only nered winter tyres if you live somewhere where it snows a lot
Go for the Michelin, they will last longer, grip better and are cheaper than the Eagles, which is odd, they normally cost more....
the Eagles seem a bit overpriced on their site
failing that, try the Conti Sport Contact 2, they are a very good tyre, and will probably be cheaper than the Mich and the Goodyear

I have the Michelin Pilots and to be honest in the dry they are no better than the Toyos, in the wet they are a bit better though. They are worth the £20 extra that i paid over Toyos IMO. Gona try the Goodyears next, i've not really heard much bad said about them.
