Default Toyo T1R's....

Folks, i have found a set of Toyo T1R's in the size 215/40/17 for my classic for what i think is a very very reasonable price, but i just want to check to make sure this is for real before i buy

The price is £260 plus £20 postage to N Ireland, thats £280 for four Toyo T1R's....does that sound right to anyone

Dont want to post up who the seller is yet in case i jinx myself, but its quite a large company selling on thr Internet

There not a bad tyre at all, on the road they are very good Wet or dry but would not recomend them for track days on warm days etc as i found out at scoobysprint on sunday ( not a lot of grip when really pushing them as i found out ) but like i said very good for road use

I've looked at going this route, but NO local fitters will fit someone else's tyres for less than £25 PER WHEEL!!!!!!!!!

Sort of makes the internet price a bit steep

Well as far as i know the classics came with 205/45/17 or 215/40/17 as standard so im just sticking to that....but plenty of people have 215/45/17's, which give a little more comfort with the higher sidewall
