Just got back from Elite in Rainham
anybody needs tyres, wheels or wheel alignment done then these are worth a look.
They also have a web site http://www.elitedirect.com/ but they've got more wheels on display at there showroom than there web site.

catching you isn't a problem with a 293BHP classic which is lighter than your heavy beast, but it's the corners that f£$k me up

you can't go wrong with Toyo Proxes T1R or T1S mate, compound is relatively soft, but excellent grip, around £80 each (215x40x17)
