TOYO T1R PROXES

65 quid delivered next day, (if ordered before 1pm)

they are 195x50x15  instead of 205x50x15 as they tend to run better on the smaller size.

i got em fitted at a backstreet garage for 18quid balanced etc

and seem to be very good, even in wet! was suprised how well they handle the rain!

Just put a pair of Dunlop SP Sports on the front of my 'Valver. All seems good so far.
