That would be the Toyos then (note the front are the "v" rated ones which is all Toyo sell now)

Just as well you didn't do that at some other places they would have had your pants down

your not wrong yikes got side tracked with talk of tvr's
just got to replace the flattery now and get it through the mot
i thought i would give u switch.com a try with my insurance due, i paid £800 odd last year and they want £1100 this time round so after playing on the u switch site the cheapest quote i got was £669.20 £200 excess
so think i will be going with that. its cheaper than my clio sport for god's sake rolleyes

If that's Bracknell Tyre and Battery, people used to travel far and wide to go there with important machinery. It was a 120 mile round trip for me but always worth it. Knowledgable (but not so knowledgable they twist your arm if you really knew what you wanted), could get any tyre, and would supply and fit - properly, neatly and cleanly - for less than anyone esle. Only trouble was the inevitable 1 1/2 hours wait!

Just been quoted for 2 x Toyo T1S for front and 2 T1R for rear, fitted, balanced £510 all in. The quote was for Z rated tyres (I confirmed this over the phone). Is this good value? or don't they make Z rated as you say-and I should be paying nearer the £308 as this sounds good.
Glad of advice. Markconfused
