Hi Rich -

it might help if you tell us what tyres you are after, and where you are based, there is not much use recommending somewhere in cornwall if you live in newcastle!

Bracknell tyre and battery.

Or alternatively get the best price you can and phone your local stealer - they had a promotion on recently where they'd match any genuine quote...

Yep if you are in Thames Valley Jackal I would give these guys a go, their number is 01344 411323, they have always taken really good care of my alloys and are the cheapest I have found around here.

do they do F1's in the correct size for the rears?

Thats been my problem with finding tyres for 18' wheels on a 740i - very few manufacturers do a matched set for the car.

I'll get my coat if thats a bit anal but I like a balanced car and having different make/type tyres can (IMHO) affect the balance

ahh come on... its a star destroyer !

as long as it floats along at 120mph in supreme comfort thats all that matters....



but saying that, they do seem to do them for the rears:

LOL - at 120 mph it maybe in supreme comfort but I'd still like balanced grip from both ends

Good find - I was pretty much resigned to having to go for contis again to get a matched set!!

[jackal]

balanced grip !


i was thinking more on the lines of putting 6" caterham rims on the rear, that would make it way more fun

Need an LSD to make that worth the effort - it just spins one wheel and goes nowhere
