Now that Camskill has stopped selling Toyo tyres, where are people purchasing their 888's from?

I ask this because Camskill always appeared to be the cheapest by some margin.

Maybe I should have said that they appear to have stopped selling them as there is very little choice on offer compaired to what they normally stock. Unless there is a problem with supply of Toyo tyres.

You could also try Patrick at Rogue motorsport as he supplies to the 750mc MR2 series. I have heard that there is no stock in the UK at the moment...

+1 for Tony - he's an ex-F1 Tyre specialist (Bridgestone, I think) and there is nothing he doesn't know about tyres. Straight up sort of chap - highly recommended...

Yes Camskill still have some in stock, but not in the size I want (225/40/18).

The point I was making though is they appear to have a very reduced stock over what they normally carry and are not giving any delivery dates for the sizes they don't have.

How about David Hall,he that sponsors some of Wiscombe and advertises in the Woolbridge club mag. Get the impression they hold a fair stock of 888 and V700/70. Think I got some, a long time ago from Colin Blower Motorsport, although thinking about it they may have been AO32s Also may be worth trying BMTR, they had some in the showroom last time I was there.

Just to be clear - we can only supply Toyo R888 tyres to competitors registered for the Toyota MR2 Championship or 750MC Roadsports series. I'm not aware of any stock issues that affect us right now.
