anyone bought So2s from Micheldever recently. I could do with a couple of rears before le mans. Any idea on price?

I got my S03s there. I asked about S02s and they said they dont do them anymore.

"S03 pole position" all round with a laser alignedment and print out (worth doing) = £450 inc vat fitting etc etc.

But check the pressures when they put the wheels back on.
Actually, if you go there tlak to me first. I can help you out on a couple of TVR things they weren't sure on.

As far as I remember they only do SO3s now. Go for Toyos - you know it makes sense.

my sizes are
205/50/15 (or possible 55)
245/45/16

I found that my tyres and blackcircles were cheap with out fitting but once you added on the fitting charge and general inconvienience there wasnt much in it.
Plus I pass Micheledever every day!

Makes sure you go as early as possible on a mid week day. Other days there are long queues.

nice one mate.

the fronts are Bridgestone but not a model I have heard of before. Mr Agger had them put on before it was sold so they have only had about 2k miles put on them. I know when HarryW looked at them he suggested they were more of a saloon car tyre.

So £225 or £450 to get the lot done. The problem is if I keep the fronts for a track day the reality of it is I probably wont ever be arsed to swap them over and then get worse grip than the road tyres.

not sure when I am going to get the chance to get up micheldever. I have this weekend and next weekend free to sort the car out but it may be with my mechanic over that time and then its Mrs Fish's wedding the weekend immediately prior to le mans so no chance then. Either give me a bell or put any info in an e-mail if thats ok mate? If you fancy a trip to check out door speakers either this weekend or next maybe we can chat about it then.

All sounds good.
I'll email you later today. Im going to close IE and do some work for a change!

My front S02s were OK but I still decided to get the lot done. Just as well too cause the alingment was out and one of the fronts had uneven wear.
The car felt straight too. Worth getting that alingment when you go up there.
If you have to do a weekend then make sure you go up early in the morning and take a book to read!

I'm in Winchester. Mine will be the one with those fantastic Lexus lights (cue for torrent of abuse!).

I haven't got the Toyos fitted yet. Hopefully picking up my new wheels today with Toyos fitted so I'll have to let you know about that. Probably won't be a fair comparrison though because they are different sizes. Anyway I'm not really in the "tyre expert camp" so I probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway!

no worries mate. let me know how you get on with them.

no torrent of abuse here - I suggested them on a thread in the chim section entitled "dilemma" and still think they look good. quite a few sceptics have been convinced I would say saw yours on the M27 the other week and lights looked excellant.
