Question

With 2 worn tyres & a puncture picked up today on a good 'un, its an opportune time to change the full set from OE Bridgestones to Toyos on my MY01 OE wheels. But before the credit card gets swiped, I would really appreciate it if any of you could give me an idea of the current going rate for Proxes.

I got mine from REVOLUTION (0191 4770785) for 380 quid inc vat and balance etc for four.I have got to admit that they are a lot better than the pirelli I had on.

Cool

Got mine for £428 all in fitted....but I live in the expensive SE...so I was quite happy with that. They have done about 300 miles now, and I'd already rate them as 10 times better than the OE Bridgies.

The 2 things that strike you are
a - much lower road noise
b - better turn in

Havn't used them in anger yet.

Cheers,

Rich

I have managed to get them for £400 all inc (inc fitting) from my dealer. I tried hard to better that elsewhere- but no chance. Pick them up tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the replies folks

scooby_si, MY01 OE wheels are definitely 215/45/17. I didnt check everywhere for prices, just wanted to see if my dealer was being competitive or not as my need was fairly urgent with a puncture & all. Seems as if they were. Job done.

Thanks again everyone.

Could you tell me where you got them from? email me the info if you prefer...
The way I'm driving my '02 it won't be long before I'm after a set of these tyres.

Thanks,
BOB
