I am going to need a good set of tyres within the next 2 weeks and want to go for something different (for road use). (Currently on P. P Zero's)

Would like to try Toyo 888's. How many road miles are they good for or does anyone else recommend any others.

18" 225 / 35

Cheers Guys

You might laugh at this fudger but the best tyres I have ever had Toyo, Pirelli, Goodyear included have been Hankook Ventus Sports. They are a fantastic all round tyre. if you dont like them I'll buy them off you that's how confident I am

Would ideally like 235 but not sure about clearance?
Should be ok as EXE can be adjusted to eliminate rubbing.

If 235's are possible they may be 40 opposed to 35?

Looks like the K104 has been replaced with these Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110

£115 a tyre delivered. They are a Y(87) rated tyre. If they are indeed an improvement over the 104 then they will be a very very good tyre indeed.

Mr DaviEs.

What time were you thinking of leaving for Elvington ( or meeting up at the service stn)? only rather than me drive back to Tunbridge Wells from Castle Coombe on Saturday I was thinking of driving from CC straight up North and maybe hotel it around your way.
That way I can have a butch at your car then we can convoy it to Elvington.

I wont be able to leave the Rally Day too early as the P1 is on the Spec-R stand. Spec-R pay for the day so it would be a bit rude to shab off at lunchtime.

Thought you had added your name to the camping list at our farm Clive, as Daz and Sleeper have also put their names down, or am i thinking of a different Fudge on 22b?

Yes that is me Steve. The Castle Coombe thingy came out of the blue.
Initially I was coming up with SleeperSy, however I will just wait for Mr DaviEs to reply as I think we may still be coming.

I'll be alright in my 240bhp Cupra. Not too sure about fudge in his 500bhp P1 though, unless of course his missus is behind the wheel.
