I'll start.

Toyo Proxes T1-S 215/40/17 - £68.00 inc. VAT & Delivery from MyTres.net

£78.75 from Scoobyworld.

I did pay £47.50+VAT+Delivery for Goodyear Eagle F1's last November, so there's plenty margin in tyres if you buy in bulk.

No tyre wholesaler gets sympathy from me when I'm buying tyres now :)

A guess another common size is 225/40/18 as well. I think that is what is on my Uk300

Not sure on price though, never had to buy yet ?

:confused:

This is a good idea though

Sounds a good idea. 215/40/17 for me.

Think you'd do well if you did a buy one get three free promotion :D

Seriously though, there are a number of companies at it so you would have some competition.

205/50R16 are the standard 16" wheels fitted to most classic shape scoobies. Toyo Proxes T1-S or Goodyear F1s seem to be the preferred makes.

I had some 205/45/17 Pirelli P-Zero Asymetricos put on last weekend.

National Tyres quoted me £620, so I got them from Micheldever Tyres (near Winchester) for just over £400, including fitting, balancing and alignment.
