£117 per corner.

For £300 for a full set all your going to get is budget,

Achiles, accellera, Nankang, Nexan, Infinity,

none of them are great in the wet, they will be okish in the dry,

Really for a semi decent tyre you should expect to pay £100 a corner.

Toyo T1rs are a good budget/mid range tyre, Quite soft though and not great in the wet.


I can get a full set of achilles, accellera and Infinity's for £220 fully fitted and balanced in 225/40/18 for my LCR
but I will be going Vred and paying the extra.

Your tyres are the last thing between you and the road, Really is best to buy the best you can with tyres.
Its not an area to scrimp on.

Yes, wait an extra month, or buy on a CC. Don't be driving around illegally. But I'd wait/gain funds by other means and buy good tyres.

Classified a guy is selling 4 GY EF1's for £400!!  :shocked: bite his arm off.

Also instead of P zeros i would get Uniroyal Rainsports 2 My first change for tyres was  P Zero which lasted me 11 mths i bought uniroyal which were better in wet quieter and  they are going on 14 mths with heaps of tread! I thought it would be hard to be the toyos but i def prefer the Uniroyal's
