Went to get some Goodyear F1's 215/40/17 and no-body has any in stock in chelt/glos area, Even had a few companies do national stock check (well so they said) and none to end January..

Anyone know where I could get some from ASAP, Got no tread left!!

Cheers

Just did a search on Goodyear f1's on Scoobyshop and it came up with several suppliers, if not local them maybe mail order and get a local to fit.

Got one on Friday £102 all in from RSR in Redhill Surrey. 01737-772243.
Good bet for you is Micheldever Tyres in Hants on 01962-774437. They are a wholesaler as well as retailer and mail order, and supply many of the outlets you might go to anyway. They're cheap too.

Try Bathwick in Cheltenham 01242 584757

They've got a big warehouse in bath & prices usually competitive

Friend of mine tried to get exactly the same tyres (GSD3 215/40's) a few weeks ago. He tried loads of places, and the general reply was that there aren't any available at the minute. New stock would be about the middle to end of Jan.

Think you might have to get something different.

Congratulations on finding them, may i suggest you start a new thread re rim/tyre size otherwise this question might get missed.

number is 01635 268384
