Help !

I'm struggling to find Toyo's T 1 's' to replace the S02's on the front of my Chimaera. I currently have T1 'S' on the back and S02's on the front.

I've called a number of tyre dealers to day and have been offered various solutions, of which Dunlop SP 9000 sound good. I've also been told that Toyo have discontinued the T1 S so I'm reluctant to put these on if it means having to replace the pair in the event of a tyre failure / uneven wear affecting only one corner.

I would certainly appreciate any advice. I live in Weston S Mare if anyone can recomend a dealer in the South West.

Cheers

Mark

Should find you your nearest dealer in the dealer search area of the site.

Goodyear F1s are the thing everyones using instead

Sexy tread pattern too!

I put dunlop SP9000 all round on mine. No problems so far. I got mine at Kwik fit. Phone around as many dealers as possible and they will do a price match. Got mine for £310 for all 4 corners.

I managed to get some T1'S' tyres not that long ago. Just took a few days for the order to arrive at the tyre fitters.
I'm sure there is still a bit of stock left, if they are what you want.

Mark, try Malvern Tyres (they have places in Bradford-on-Avon 01905 778688, and WSM 01934 643007).
I bought a pair of Toyo T1-R for my Chim (205-55 / 15), which I think are the mutts.
I know all the stuff said on here about Toyos and speed ratings, but my insurer (Mannings) were quite happy about them, so that's good enough for me.
Take it easy for a couple of hundred miles in this cool weather until they've cured/run in.

Cheers,
Paul

There on the Toyo dealership website which gives you a map to their garage.

I got TOYOs allround on for my Griff from a Stapletons and they don't even stock TOYO....I reckon your local fitters just aint pulling their finger out to give the service.
