DanGTI Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) Im just about to get a set of Toyos as the dunlops are now a severe hazard with only 12k on the clock.....I cant remember which are the newer ones - the T1-are - are or the T1 - S?Also from people who've owned them which is best? On black circles the T1-are are goes for £80 a corner in a 205 width but the T1-S is only £50 a corner in a 195......so what do you think?##edited cos i cant type### Edited August 26, 2005 by DanGTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 The newer ones are the T1-are, have a look here where you'll find they £47.40 a tyre, can't fault the service they were really prompt, i ordered on a tuesday and they were here by friday, I made the change not long ago and it really does make a night and day difference, although you will notice them wear quicker, but when they're half the price i dont really mind.Oh and dont worry about it changing your text to ARE it's the word filter cutting out text speak!

ArosaPD Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Got Toyo T1Rs on the front of mine and got them from mytyres too. They were on special offer when I got mine about 2 months ago and I paid £74.00 for the pair (195/45/16) and that included delivery. I ordered uniroyal rainsports for my ST220 previously, nobody came close to beating them on prices and delivery was super quick on both occasions. Well worth a look! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGTI Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 is that with VAT, delivery, fitting & balancing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 is that with VAT, delivery, fitting & balancing?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Includes VAT and delivery, you need to sort out fitting, roughly 5 quid per corner.A 10-second visit to their website would have told you all that.

A thread on tyres!!!Just picked up a very shiny set of rims courtesy D7 YME - and probably gonna go for 195/45/15 either Goodyear, Avon or Toyo - dunlop 9000 would be nice but at £61 my tyres there slightly more expensive than can afford.Any suggestions??
