Plantie,

Can you supply P-Zero 205 45 17, which I hope is the correct size for a standard RB5 wheel.

 

Yeah, phone John number in main text.

ps i know nothing about these so please don't diss

 

email: HPtyreservices@aol.com for some good prices

 

Leon advertising is forbidden unless you pay to advertise.... beware mods will get you.

Just to re-iterate guys.... Jon is happy to supply or just use the prices to get others down!! He is a motorsports fan and understands the enthusiasts!

Also call him if you get a better price.... if he lets me know there are alterations I will put em up.

 

ww... good choice for your requirements would be Goodyear F1 or Bridgestone S0-3 if you drive aggressive. If you dont the Uniroyal or Dunlop are ok.

 

emm, i am interested in the uniroyal (because checked on mytyres.net)
however after vat and P+P they are only £1.28p cheaper, should i really bother?

 

Up to you mate.. this post is not about a hard sale.... it is about helping the board to get cheaper tyres. Call John he may have a special on....

 

BTTT. Why can't this thread be a sticky thread or dated 2006 so it always stays at the top? Mods please?

This info is too important to lose, just spent 20 mins trying to find it.

Cheers

WB

 

WB good idea.... why not send a moderator of this forum an email as they may not see this....

 

Plantie, ok on the job.

 

let us know the outcome!

 

BTTT

 

For anyone interested:-
225-40-18 - £111.00 - Goodyear F1 GSD03 (new style)
INCLUDING VAT - FITTED & BALANCED...........
Quoted from Hi Q dealer Network (Good Years own network of independant dealers). I ordered them. It works out cheaper than any other quote I have had - only downfall is that Good Year themselves are out of stock until April.

Just to let you know that John gave the best price for my girlfriends RAV4, £46 +VAT for Dunlop Grandtrek's

TTT ya go!

 

Good stuff!!

He will price up competitively on most.... but this post is obviousley just Scoob related sizes!

 

Decided on my next tyre. SO3s are crap, so thought I'd try the Goodyear F1 GDS3.

Phoned these guys yesterday and thought I got a good quote. 4 (215/40/17) were £79.50 each plus vat, plus fitting. Not bad I thought around £400, but they didn't have them in stock Phoned Pro-tyre and they said £403.68 all in and did have them in stock.

Dealers (Tileys of Bristol phoned me) as car was in for a service. They mentioned the tyres and said could they quote. I laughed and said "go on then" as I thought they'd be well expensive. Told them about the other quotes and Tileys said they'll do them for £380 all in I was shocked to say the least.

Thanks Phill

 

Phil, thats good mate....

Might be worth phoning up John again and letting him know that... he will only make them cheaper.... if he can...

But none- the less thats what this thread is all about.... uses the prices to get even cheaper quotes!

 

*cough*

 

Bump!

 

Just booked myself in for all for corners this coming weekend at Hi-Q Mr Tyre Ltd, Mansfield (01623 429429).

They are fitting 4x Goodyear Eagle F1 225 45 ZR17 @ £105 per corner onto MY01 sti v7.

That price includes fitting, balancing, valves and VAT.

I was offered a price beating £104/per corner from Formula One AutoCentres on the same street, but they only had them on back-order.

 

I can't believe that this thread is still going !!

S.

PS Lets hope its still going in another 10,000 miles when i'm due for renewal !

 

Up,up and away!! Too good a thread to go missing.
