Title: Where to buy tyre's
Post by: Sukhi on 31 January 2008, 17:30

I'm looking at getting a set of 15" tyres and in the running are:

Toyo Proxies T1-R's/T1-S'
Yokohamma A539's
Goodyear Eagle F1GSD3's
Yokohamma Prada Spec 2's

(I've considered R888's but they'll be overkill for road use)

- I've looked at prices on:

http://www.blackcircles.com/
http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html

And have found some fairly decent prices. However was wondering if you knew any other rated and recommended bargain places for decent tyres.

Any advice would be great.



Sukhi.

been buying from mytyres for years, good prices and good delivery times considering they ship them from Germany

Don't overlook your local independent tyre place, place near me is always better than etyres/mytyres/blackcircles/ebay! :)

When I got my last Toyo T1-R, I used blackcircles website to tell me who was nearest fitters, then I rang them direct and they got me one that day and fitted  it. They will not show you the telephone number on blackcircles of the tyre fitters, so you'll have to do a little bit of investigative work on yell.com etc, just google the tyre place and you'll find a direct number for them. :wink:

I tried 195/55 R15 and 3 came up.

Does anyone know if the Prada's are Spec 2's?
