Hi guys,

I am in need of some new boots for the T350 (rear) and I am going to fit the larger size of 255/35/18. I am really struglling to find anywhere locally that can get Goodyear or Toyo. Apparently Goodyear have a big back order on and hardly anywhere seems to sell Toyo anymore.

I don't really want to be messing about with ordering off the internet and then getting them fitted either.

So, the local tyre places have offered Bridgestone RE50's or Pirelli P Zero's. Should I just get either of these or look further afield?

I was mainly after the Goodyear F1 Asymetrics which came the top of the EVO test but no where has been able to get hold of them for the last couple of months!

Cheers

Bren

Hi,I'm currently running on the goodyear F1's and previously had the Toyos. I've found the F1's better in the wet but not all that much in it in the dry. What tires have you got on the front?
If it helps I've got two rear Toyo tires for the back with loads of tred left that I'll let go cheap, if it ties over for the mean time?

just fitted some T1R 255/35/18's and got them from a place in Essex called Leigh Tyres, excellent service and £105 delivered each, that's £35 a tyre cheaper than I could get locally
