Excellant price, my tires are completely shot so I've just ordered 4 for my bug eye. Thanks for the info!

Danny B

Thanks very much for that link, I've ordered 4x 215/40/17 for £192.80

nuclear_pond

Did they say how long to deliver, and also how much would a garage charge to fit & balance them? some places may be funny if your not getting tyres from them?

I have had 2 sets of tyres from them - 1st set delivered in 2 days, 2nd set within 4 days - Great service and price!

My local tyre centre charge a fiver per wheel, best time to go is late on a Sunday afternoon just before closing and then pay cash straight to the guys when the boss aint looking

BruceR

Thanks for that, just ordered a set of 215/45 ZR 17 for £213.60 seems a good place for my Crossroad's refund to be at the moment...

Cheers

They do two Toyo Proxies in my size

225/45 ZR17 94W RF Rim-protection
225/45 ZR17 91W Rim-protection

Anyone know the difference? These prices seem too good to be true. Phoned round today and the cheapest I got locally was 105 pound/corner. This place is selling them for 55.10.

That is the load / speed info
94= 670kilos
91= 615 kilos
W is the speed rating

Cheers nuclear_pond.

I thought the Crossroads Garage deal was good until this!!

Just ordered 4.

Another saving thanks to Scoobynet

nuclear_pond

Reason I'm looking is my fronts seem to have worn more on the inside edge. Anyone know why? Rest of the tyre is OK, but inside groove is well worn. I had the alighntment etch checked an all OK, but couldn;t bring myself to cough up the money for 4 wheel TSL stle geometry whatsit.

PS - How long before we get moved to wheels & tyres tech forum he he

nuclear_pond

D'oh, its already happened. Sorry Mods, I just though more peeps would see it in general

Tiny

N/P
Well worth coughing up the Dosh for the TSL Geometry / Allignment set up you will not believe the difference that this can make to your scooby!!! Have done a few mods to mine And this has to be the best so far , Or is was until today when the rally grafix went on!!!!!!!

How much is it at TSL? Subaru dealers chare a lot. Nearly had it done once with a sevice, but ther machine was broke. I think it saved me almost a ton.

Danny, is W rating higher than Z, as I always though that Z was the highest rated(or are W and Z the same)

Paul

Just doen a search on 225/45/17. Toyo £55.10

But heres the best bit - budget is £73.80 and economy is £76.10

Reverse logic or what. Either that or they're buying Toyos by the ship load

Are Toyo Proxes any good for an m3 evo?....are they any good in general( the tyres that is!)

RS Grant

Are these tyres any good compared to Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3's??

I am looking to replace my standard 15" tyres on my S2 RST so I can use them for daily use as I dont like the drivability of the car on the 17's at the moment, it looks good but prefer the steering feel on the standard wheels...

Cheers,
Grant

Well, I was going to buy some Goodyears, but for this money sod that!

The Toyo's have always been my second choice should I fail to get S02's in the past...they're not quite as good as the S02 or the GSD3 F1 INHO, but for 200 quid a set I'm laughing!

P1Fanatic

Just to clear up a few things. W is not the speed rating. The tyre size 215/40/ZR17 83W breaks down to the following:

215 = Width in mm of the tyre
40 = Profile of tyre from edge of wheel to edge of tyre, expressed as a percentage of width i.e. 40% of 215mm
ZR = Speed Rating IIRC ZR is the new 150mph +
17 = Wheel Diameter in inches i.e. 17 inch
83W = load index

Bear in mind that for 215/40/17's (the size used on classic impreza's) Subaru supply a load index of 88W (Pirellis normally). The Toyos arent quite as strong so arent a direct replacement. There was a thread a while back that came to the conclusion that using different tyres with weaker load indexes could run the risk of your insurance being void should they go pop. Doesnt stop me using Toyos but is something you should all be aware of.

Danny B

Yes it is, but only with a full load hence the 2 numbers before.
Y - The speed symbol, i.e. the maximum sustainable speed for the tyre at the load capacity given - in this case 186.4mph

I stand corrected. Strange how no mention about the speed rating (ZR) on that example. Why would you have 2 speed ratings - 1 of ZR and one of Y?

Where have the Toyo's gone?

I did a search yesterday for 225/45/17s and they were £55.

Just looked again this morning and they have dissappeared!! I was going to order them as well.

Proxes have dissapeared from the site in all sizes.....
