Tyres, Elites or elsewhere
 

While the wheels are off, might as well get some new tyres, now do we get a discount at Elites?

Or has anyone got any other recommendations. just want to collect the tyres not have them fitted.


Someone mentioned another place a while ago but I cant remember where it was :wonder:

Try where you're having them painted mate :D

Mark, we do get a discount at Elite, Barry Eldrige is the man, I am sure Tiny or someone will be along with his number.

Unless you do a quick search of the forums yourself.

You can always try Steve at Leigh Tyres, in my experience, if you get a good price elsewhere, Steve would rather make a loss and sell you tyres, than you going elsewhere :D

Not sure of their phone number, but I know Andy (Supercue) has it ...... I don't think either of us go anywhere else for our tyres :D

We [SIDC] Do a cracking deal on Yoko Parada's ;)

My tyre of choice these days

How stupid am I (don't answer that :D )

Another vote for steve at leigh tyres. Practically guarantee that you won't get cheaper tyres.

Hope you're not offended by foul language though!

will deff be giving this chap a call tomorrow, ABW are also going to get me a quote :)

If someone is stuttering when they answer the phone ...... It's S s s s Steve

Is this converstaion gonna take some time then :D

:lol1: thats the one :lol1:

Only stutters on the F word, so YES the conversation will take ages :D

:D

As a guide Toyo T1-R's in 17's cost me about £65 each

On the other hand, if you are not a fan of terminal understeer then you may want to go for something else:D

where did you get them for that price mate?

Steve at Leigh tyres, they may even be cheaper now as he has done a deal with Toyo.

My mates Lotus' rear tyres are £400 each everywhere else. Steve is now doing them for £90, unbelievable.

sounds like the place then :thumb:

:thumb:

Yep... stuttering Steve is your man! :lol1:

Ohhhhhhh I so wanted to answer that one:p :D

If someone can provide cheaper I'd like to know the details please;)

Toyos are normally around £75-80 a corner fitted to give you some idea.

If you have 17"s and theyre 8" wide you can run 235-45-17.

You'll need wider rims to run wider rubber. Personally if you want a balls out awesome road tyre id run the Bridgestone RE070.
If you want something a little more forgiving to road conditions then im running Vredestein UltraCs at the moment.

Having previously had Toyo's/Avon ZZ3/GY Eagle F1/Yokos/BF Goodrich Profiler Gs.

The Vredesteins are far and away the best thing ive driven on so far... only the RE070s are better in the dry. I never thought id find a better tyre in the wet than the Eagle F1s as you know theyre fantastic. Then i used teh Ultrac and they blow the F1s away IMO.

Your choice though :D

I guess it's worth shopping around.

If you are after Michelin tyres Costco offers a good deal, fitted, otherwise try
blackcircles.com or mytyres.co.uk

what size 17's

I rang him today and got a price of 70 for toyo 215x45x17 :notworthy

Cant complain at that price:thumb:
