New boots for the Chim
Discussion
Right guys, I need some opinions on tyre choice for the rear on my 94 Chim.
I have got Bridgestone Potenza S-02's on it at the moment but they are are almost at the end of their life (might have something to do with the fact that I like sideways...I dont know
). So, do I stick with them or try something new. I have used Toyo Proxes T-1S before (on a Mondeo though) so not sure if these will be any good.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers
Ed

Just put complete set of Toyo on mine. Second set I've had on the rear. Much better than SO3's and the rears did over 10,000 miles
I am in the same boat in that mine will need replacing shortly. What sort of price are Toyos? I have heard around £80 mentionned?
Reports seem to be generally favourable...
After spending a great deal of money on a suspension upgrade, the last thing I want to do is skimp £20 on a tyre to ruin the handling....

Yeah around the £80 ish a corner. Pop on to www.mytyres.co.uk, I swear by them.

to be honest mate I am a bit lazy with micheldever on the doorstep and with such good prices I'll head up there early one morning and get a set put on. The annoying thing is I have some Bridgestones on the front which only have about 3k miles use but arent SO3's - put on before I bought the car. Not sure if to "waste" money in changing them.
having spent £2k in 6 weeks on her I am struggling to justify it to myself I must say...
Give Bracknell Tyres a call.
They fitted SO3s(rears) on my Chim last Saturday For £88-OO each all in. was on SO2s
As for handling I may just notice a change from the old ones --bald as a coot they were

Had mine done at Peninsular, £90 a corner, but needed the tracking doing as well. But these www.etyres.co.uk sounded good on the web, been told they even fill with nitrogen
