Just got a tyre quote...
« on: 17 March 2009, 12:44 »
Wanted tyres for my TT comps, ask my local tyre place i always use, very competitive for some 195/45/17's Good Eagle F1's

They wanted £108 a corner, when black cirlces wanted £88... But they said they can only get them from Goodyear as no supplier had them on the shelf.

So they are going to get a quote on possibly 205/40/17...

I hate tyres!!

Might go for 205/40/17 as they are far cheaper, Toyo Proxes T1-R in that size are £58. But they dont do eagle f1's in that size which is a bit gay.

Online, but they are very competitive. As they are a 1 man band company.
