As in R888's?

I don't think Camskill are a dealer for them anymore, Dave@EARS Motorsport are, and also Elite in Essex, they were the cheapest by far when I needed one!

NOT on holiday, working on the wife's French house.

Will it be rebuilt, or is that it for Toyo?

I got a pair of the lowly T1R's from revolution recently they got them in no bother, might be worth a try.

I need some 18's for the Astra.

Could do with four, really, but I might have to have two now, two later.

At present, it's on "Fullruns" The fronts whine awfully. Running your hand round the inside of the tread you can feel a series of ridges and troughs.
