I got mine from mytyres.co.uk - 205/55/16 Toyo Proxes £56 each (or something like that) including VAT and delivery.  Try there.

TYRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew there was something wrong with the ride on the new car..........When the salesman said "She handles like she's on rails" I think he meant I have to drive on them.... :embarassed:

My (damn it) my wifes car has Bridgestone PZ-1's and I bet no-one back in Blighty has even heard of them.

Boy I miss the cold frosty mornings..it's not the same driving to work in December with the Air con on...... :tongue:

IMO Toyo's are indeed an absolute bag of sh*t in the wet. 

Think I'll go for the F1's then.  £58 each inc vat and delivery isnt bad is it?  Or does anyone know of anywhere cheaper??
