If the Bridgestone S02's are hard to get hold of now, what is the general consensus on the S03's v the Toyo's considering TVR are supplying new cars with the Toyo's?

Also, can anyone recommend a supplier around the London area whose prices are very reasonable?

Edited to say - Do they do the S03's in 235/35 or are they only in a 40 profile? If so are you S03's owners OK with the 40 profile?

£119 quid from a place in Essex which I did not think was too bad!


Jon

Jon,

Where is this place in Essex?, mail me if you prefer. The best quote I've had so far for two S03's 255/35/18 is from MICHELDEVER at £330 supplied and fitted or £325 supplied and delivered.

Cheers for that, I tried them and they quoted me £176 each tyre which is not far off MICHELDEVER's price.

Cheers Neil, thanks for the info. I will get a quote for the Toyo's and see what deal I can get.

Will I be OK having Toyo's on the back and my S02's on the front, then replacing the front ones when needed??

Thanks for all the replies peeps.

I've decided on going for the TOYO's (for the rears for now) and can you get them anywhere??? I can't unless I pay 200 quid a tyre. They seem to be on back order from everywhere else I try who is quoting a reasonable price.

I need a set of rear boots by Friday or I'm in sh*t.

Cheers James but 4newtyres.co.uk don't stock 255/35/18's in TOYO's only 245/40's and mytyres.co.uk don't stock TOYO's anymore and can't get S03's til next week.

I could of got S03's for tomorrow at a reasonable price but through PH, I've decided on TOYO's, means they're even harder to get hold of!!!

HELP!!

One good thing (or maybe a bad thing) outta this is I'll stop putting the mileage on and have to get on public transport this weekend

Sods law isn't it. After all the ringing around I managed to get two rear TOYO's the next day and at a reasonable price from the dealer at the end of my road!!

Must admit, I can feel the difference already.

Thanks for all the help people, really appreciate that.

Just a quick question, are new Cerbera's being fitted with TOYO 225/35/18's on the fronts cos TOYO don't make a 235/35/18 tyre??
