Mac. Theres a place in Malton that is a specialist Toyo dealer. I can't remember the name but they did mine at about £30 less each than HHC were quoting and the fitter really took care with the car. The place looks a bit rough as they specialise in HGV's but I found them really good.

Can't remember the name but they'll be in the YP.

Come and Callum - use your club contacts!

Just tyres at York will beat the price of the Malton dealer - ring Malton first
someone Brown tyres I think it is at Malton - get a price then ring Just Tyres on Foss Island Road - tell him your NYTVRCC and that you want a best price - he should beat it
Did with my last Chimaera tyres

Then there's mytyres.co.uk
order - delivered the fitted locally for £10 a wheel

My Volvo chews through front tyres so I'm always buying them and with pirellis I do a quick ring round and get the price as low as possible before ringing National (where the fitters are good) and they beat it.

However I found that this didn't work with the Toyos as a lot of tyre places dont stock them. Hence the run to Malton.

Is the place in Malton near Specialist Cars? If so, they put my last set of 4 on and were the cheapest I could find.

Remember its one thing to get the tyres at a good price, but you need to have confidence they won't damage your rims!

Thanks
