Attempted Tyre rip off

Popped into National Tyres near Cannock yesterday for a price on two front Goodyear 225/45/17 F1 GSD3's. Was quoted £273, but they didn't have them in stock. I asked about a price match to ATS price of £180, and he said ok after speaking to someone in the work shop.
An attempted rip off of £93!!!!!!!

Surprised they still have stock of the GSD3's, but £180 for two sounds pretty good value in the end.

I'm in a predicament where I want them all to match, but they haven't all worn out

Would rather stick with these older ones and have them match, rather than two newer designs on the front and older ones on the back.
Crinkle crunch prevents all 4 being changed without them being worn

Had to source one myself in March for a similar reason - approx. £95 from BlackCircles.
Not doing things in half measures, I got five nails in the same tyre.

I've gone with black circles, just over £180 for the pair, being fitted Wednesday.
Good skills with the five nails
