Clairey Fairy Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Dont get the dunlops! Theyre rubbish. Ive heard that they were quite pricey to buy in this size, hense why Snowy's previous owners baught 195/50/15 to make it cheaper apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You can get Toyos 195/45 for about £45 from Camskills They are even having a offer on them £41 eachOr, you can get the right size for £51 each from the same people (Toyo T1R 205/45/15) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d9nngti Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i have a friend who works for a vauxhall dealer and he has ordered them thru work for me for £106 + vat for 2 tyres so that was better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 *edit - do you mean Toyos or Dunlops? And is that each or for both?(Most who've tried will tell you that the Toyo is the better tyre by a long shot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Fairy Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i have a friend who works for a vauxhall dealer and he has ordered them thru work for me for £106 + vat for 2 tyres so that was betterIf thats for the Toyo's can he do the same for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Or, you can get the right size for £51 each from the same people (Toyo T1R 205/45/15)That's £51 per tyre *including* VAT. I think delivery is a tenner.That actually comes to less unless I'm missing something?I wish Camskill did referal offers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafcross Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I got a 205-45-15 for my rear when I got a puncture as the rest were that size. Just got 2 new front tyres......195-45-15. They wheels are only 6.5J so why the 205s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wheels are only 6.5J so why the 205s?I stuck with 205's because i had some on my spare set of bathursts! Toyos are 10x better, dunlops in the wet are brown trousers time. Through roundabouts flicking it one way and the other, can just feel them squirming about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shteee Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Got a set of 14x6J wheels that i want to try out on the Lupo. What size and brand tyres would be a good bet for abit of stretch but still decent drivability ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyos are 10x better, dunlops in the wet are brown trousers time. Through roundabouts flicking it one way and the other, can just feel them squirming about.I would've kept the 205 Toyos tbh but I'm on a budget atm! At £100 a corner I can't afford it! Although when I get my new wheels it'll be a nice set of Toyos on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat.m. Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Etyres for the dunlops came up cheapest for me, make sure you allow a lead time of upto 3 weeks in some cases. The toyo's are even rarer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Camskill, got 4 toyos 205/45/15 for £48 a corner, with free delivery..They have deals come up every month or three, always check back as they had a deal on R888's for £62 a corner not so long ago.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt~black Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 goodyear eagle f1's or yokohama s-drives are far better than toyos and the yokohamas are cheaper 45 fitted at most places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
