Ringing round the usual suspects for best quote on a 215/35 18 T1-S its surprising to find that there are not many tyre centres selling Toyo's.
Of the last 6 called only 2 could supply.
Anyone know where I can source one for a competitive price ?

Thanks

LOL - Pete beat me to it.....:D

Pete

Best offer so far is £123(inc vat) plus £6.95 delivery = £130 all in to my door.
Had an interesting chat to the guy who said that this......

...was repairable - its a nail in the side wall.
If it is then will get it fixed - if opinion here is that its not repairable then will get a new tyre
Pete - If you can match that price I will buy from you....

Should be repairable if you have it vulcanized -- but unless you can get the tyre place to lend you a tyre you'll be forced to run around on the space saver until it's done.

carl 28 November 2001 12:22 PM

Another thought -- do Toyo still run the puncture guarantee thing whereby they pay part of the cost of a new tyre according to the tread depth you've got left?

RaymondH 28 November 2001 12:26 PM

Try ATS. I had a nail in a similar place and they removed the tyre and vulcanised it while I waited. As long as the nail isn't in the side wall they will consider a repair and yours looks to be far enough into the tread. I put my repaired one on the back just in case but had no problems until it was replaced after it wore out.

Pete Croney 28 November 2001 12:28 PM

I can't quite match that price :(

RoShamBo 28 November 2001 01:55 PM

Raymund - got a web site for ATS ?

Toyo website has a list of dealers....

M Hutton 29 November 2001 05:13 AM

Fleetway tires of Watford/Rickmansworth had them in for £95!

ptholt 29 November 2001 11:37 AM

Toyo no longer do the replacement guarantee when i bought my last set (last year) as strangely people were getting an awful lot of punctures......

carl 29 November 2001 11:44 AM

I don't get it -- how did they lose out through the puncture guarantee? If you wait till they're half-worn then 'get a puncture' you only get half the price of new tyres. It's just like spreading the cost -- you don't save anything.
