Nice one, I've just done the same - also bought at Tyre Leader and delivered from Germany within three days!
Lepsons have refurbed my wheels at the same time and fitted new TPMS all round - going to pick it up from Kelly at KDS this afternoon as he's done a few bits as well. I'll try and get a few pics up later, but for now here's my 2 y/o trying out the tyres

Tile Diver must like cycling. I met him half way up the Croix de Fer last summer. He's the only guy I've met who has the RS as a support car

Ha ha!!! I remember that day, I blew my brains out not long after talking to you!!! Col du Glandon it was though, the Croix de Fer shares the lower bits, and just differs near the top I think?

Another roadie here too
I used to do lots of short/middle distance time trials for many years and also a few winter du-athlons. Had a Trek OCLV carbon frame/forks, dura ace throughout etc, Zipp 440's etc etc
Nowadays riding a more 'relaxed' machine; a BMC Granfondo GFO1 full carbon with electronic Dura ace, 6.5kgs!! The 'winter hack' is a BMC Granfondo GFO2 Alu with full Ultegra STI, love them both. Still enjoy it but I don't compete now.

I've still got my Wilier and a winter bike, but my days of being a roady riding 300miles/wk stopped about 4 years ago, and I just ride mountain bikes now, although I'm still involved in the triathlon industry
I sold my last triathlon bike a couple of years ago, and I still look at pictures of it longingly. I certainly don't miss Sunday morning 120mile winter base rides in January and leg shaving though

Is there some sort of catch with tyre leader? Why are they so cheap?

To be fair there's not much between Tyreleader and Oponeo in terms of price so I just went with the cheapest which was tyre leader.

That's an insane price!
Tyres have definitely come down - dad put a pair on his A3 only today in fact, and he commented they were £30 cheaper than the last pair.
