So I would either get them from MyTyres or negotiate your supplier down..
Especially if you are getting a set of 4...

Hi Des thanks for that, The T1-R's were at Rochfords, but i have now found a place that can fit them about 5 miles from me at Elite,

SP9000 are £88 each fitted,215 45 17
Eagle F1 GSD 3 £88 " " " "
Parada £75 fitted but i will come down a profile to fit 215 40 17.

Hi Gary, an alternative, I have on the fronts is the Hankook Ventus sport K104

Fitted they were about £75

Great grip all round, an quiet, had them since march and they are wearing very well, I do about the 5-7K a year as well.

Dunlop SP Sport 9000 every time for me! Awesome tyre gripwise and quiet too plus cheaper than some of the others too!

Can't wait to get some on my new car which has the awful Pirelli P Zeros on now!

Hi Ian
LUV my P Zero's, are yours of the Rosso family? (which mine are). Run P Zeros on Banny's Celica, and they are superb. Railway lines & poo to a blanket are how I describe them Lol.

Well DB it is either the Toyo T1R at £82 a corner fitted, or i have found a set of KUMHO KU31 ECSTA for £214 plus fitted and posting, 91 W so the load and speed limits are ok for the AWD R

hi gary, i have used both the toyo (currently) anf the f1's (last set) and the f1's imo are the best...the toyos just seem to transfer more road vibration to the steering and just dont feel as "sat" on the road as the f1's...mind you they are both great grippy tyres...the toyos better in the wet under wot tbh....
cheers

...ps enjoy you honeymoon, dont forget you already have four so be careful...lol

Kumhos dont seem to have much of a Rim-protection, going by the piccy.
Look nice though and a good price. DB.

I have to be mad to be honest, going from the 18" Tritons to the 17" Comets, i have Dunlops on the R at the mo and they are excellent and a set of Eagle F1's to go on the Tritons as well,
I just want a bit more ride comfort and to get my insurance a bit more £££ friendly,

Gary,

PS No more for me, and my partner Jitt is too old, lol.

Not much protection by the look of things, but i do not part too close to the kerbs anyway not with the Tritons on the car,
