Where to get 18" tyres in South Wales?
I need to get 2 rear 18" tyres for the Scoob.
Wheres the cheapest place to get them in South Wales.
I'm looking at Pirellis or Goodyears and my Toyo T1-R's only lasted 5 months of very little miles and no hard driving!!!!!!!!

Give my mate Grant (GT Tyres) a ring, he's a couple of miles down the road from ACE motorsport i'm sure he'll get you a good deal. Tell him Dean gave you the number. Probably get you a better deal on Goodyear he doesn't really deal with toyo much.

He's taken a car down to a mates garage in Dinas Powys (don't think that spelling is right) and he can't get a signal down there try again you should be able to get him, i just tried him and it rang.

Yeah but they dont stock the Tyres I want.
I wanted Goodyear but hear Horror stories of them splitting.
Andy from Ace Motorsport recommended Pirelli so might try them.

I've had them a couple of times, last time my tracking was out, but they were still running well even down to the cotton!!!!!! grip is fantastic and lasted a good 20K of hard life!!!!!
well worth the extra money, I've got Toyo's T1s's at the moment, there okay but going back to Goodyear next

Got T1-S tyres on at the moment myself and will need to replace soon as the front are lasting about 5 months. May give Eagle F1's a go next

Toyo are picking up my old T1R's to check them out. They are worried about having made a bad batch!
I would NEVER get them again! I would urge other people not to get them as only lasting 2000 miles is pathetic and worrying!!!!!!!!!

Must be something wrong somewhere to only last that long you would expect them to last at least 5000 miles even under relativily hard driving. Mine are lasting quite well so far.
