bighead:
Call them - they will tell u no fuss. 215/40/17 is cheap as its very popular. Not sure about 18's.

RB5320:
They are ZR rating which is 150mph+ IIRC.

Simon.

Hey Bighead, I have got the same size tyres as yours, I had to buy one yesterday, it was £135! A bit more than those narrower/smaller rims!! They are for girls anyway!

The best price we can do for the F1 GSD3's is £92.14 per tyre (inc vat
and del)

Just beat you L1J. CrossRoads did the same tyres for £230 this morning. Obviously I'm more cheeky in my haggling.

I don't need them yet but at that price I had to have them. Just need to store them for a few months.

J

P.S.
He'll be getting loads more in on Thursday, but there is a week wait on delivering because the demand is so high.

Edited to say Thanks L1J for the tip off.

215/40/ZR17's for £60 each when normally they are £90+? I take it they are GDS2's and not 3's?

Simon.

Save others searching for the number.

Crossroads Garage - speak to David Hunt on 01730 233700.

Hope he doesn't mind me putting business his way. He was very busy.

I doubt anyone would mind more business. This is an amazing price. Im just hoping they do exactly what they say on the tin - hence Im buying on my credit card for a bit of safety.

I didn't need any for 5/6 months, but the deal was too good for me to pass up.

I ordered 8 * 215/40R17 GSD3 yesterday the price was so good. I had a few P6000s off them for my Pug the other week and the service was excellent.

Agree about the useless P-Zeros, RB5320. Couldn't keep up with a Renault Laguna round a bend this morning in the wet. How embarassing. My Toyo's were so much better. Bring on the F1's.
