Tyres

Where does everyone generally get their tyres from?
I have just bought some TOYO PROXES T1-R's!
Any good?
They cost me £34.60 each and i'm getting them fitted at the local garage for £5 each.
How much do you guys pay usually?
and is this a good deal?
cheers
 
Sounds about right to me, I pay about that to get them from Fusion :)

What size tyres?
 
thats cheap tbh I was going to get some for my 17's but they were about 75 quid each so I stuck with budget ones. so far so good with the budget ones tbh

got some VREDESTEIN sport trac 3's on my lasses sol and I think they're the best tyres Ive drove with so far compared to pirellis, yokos, toyos, falcons, kumo's etc. They also won best all round tyre of the year for the last few years with autocar or one of those mags. she had goodyear eagle F1's on before them which I thought were really good tyres but these seem just as good in the dry and just as good in the wet but with less tyre noise and a better ride off them too.
when driving with them on you can drive at just the same speed in the wet as in the dry
think she paid £120 for a pair of 195/55/15's fitted
 
I need some new front tyres...got a puncture yesterday :(

Looking at the t1-r's but they're classed as summer tyres? maybe not the best for this time of year?

Just remember not to skimp on tyres. Even with coilovers it makes no difference if you have no grip ;)

If your reffering to me dude, they're not for the mera, they're for the numb handling frech piece of toss clio. I'm putting toyo t1's (or whatever they're called) on the mera at some point but as its off the road till some time next year there's no rush.
