Ringing round the usual suspects for best quote on a 215/35 18 T1-S its surprising to find that there are not many tyre centres selling Toyo's.
Of the last 6 called only 2 could supply.
Anyone know where I can source one for a competitive price ?

Thanks

Pete

Best offer so far is £123(inc vat) plus £6.95 delivery = £130 all in to my door.
Had an interesting chat to the guy who said that this......

...was repairable - its a nail in the side wall.
If it is then will get it fixed - if opinion here is that its not repairable then will get a new tyre
Pete - If you can match that price I will buy from you....

Should be repairable if you have it vulcanized -- but unless you can get the tyre place to lend you a tyre you'll be forced to run around on the space saver until it's done.

Another thought -- do Toyo still run the puncture guarantee thing whereby they pay part of the cost of a new tyre according to the tread depth you've got left?

Try ATS. I had a nail in a similar place and they removed the tyre and vulcanised it while I waited. As long as the nail isn't in the side wall they will consider a repair and yours looks to be far enough into the tread. I put my repaired one on the back just in case but had no problems until it was replaced after it wore out.

I don't get it -- how did they lose out through the puncture guarantee? If you wait till they're half-worn then 'get a puncture' you only get half the price of new tyres. It's just like spreading the cost -- you don't save anything.
