Looking to put a new set of R1R on the Tamora

I've been quoted the following

Fronts 225/40x18 £120.00 free del inc vat from Toyo Direct.
Rears 255/35x18.£159.00 free del inc vat from Pneus Direct

£588 for full set.

Is this about right? Just wondered if it's what you guys have paid or if there's any where I might get a better price?

Cheers

You are lucky to get any. I hear they have been discontinued. Certainly cheaper than R888's!

Try Openeo. Based in Germany, but I ordered my Toyo sports on Friday pm and they were delivered Monday pm at the garage. They might have the tyres you're after and were excellently priced.

Mine worked a treat at Cadwell yesterday and I now have more grip than performance (in the dry, at least)

Lol I will I just don't like missing out on a deal... Although I've been offered a great deal on 888 medium compound but I know I'll do them in with a year!

I had a set for the R1R's for mine from http://www.oponeo.co.uk and had no issues.

Prices and stock vary daily but a set as per your sizes is currently £484 delivered!!

Hi Ant try again another day the price will certainly be diff rent .they've had only 5 par when I bought mine the other month the 255 that is and of course that size is no longer produced. I think they came from Germany or Holland.
