I need to get some new rubber on my FD and Eagle F1\'s seem to be a popular choice. The best price I can find so far is ~£460 for a full set, 2xfront + 2xrear (standard 17" tyre sizes) including VAT and delivery.
Does anyone know of somewhere I could get a better price than this or shall I just go ahead and get them?
Cheers,
Ric
damn http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ (http://www.mytyres.co.uk/) are cheaper than that although there are cheaper cant think of name of place now i\'ll post later when at home if i remember but should certainly be able to get you sub/circa £400, think they are on above link anyway, & you can if so desired get sumwhere local to price match for easiness (http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/contrib/lynx/orngwink.gif) but anyway i\'ll letcha know where i found later then.
Si
booger just looked & they aint so cheap on mytyres actually but as i say will post hopefully better places later:rolleyes:
Si
micheldever usually have Very healthy prices now i think about it.....
Si
blacktyres (http://www.blackcircles.com/) are usually pretty good as well although at a quick glance didnt seem to hot by the £460 price but best i had found was c/o a chap on ebay who i contacted & which was via johnson imports 01978 844498.
Lettice no how you get on....
Si
yeah - the price I quoted was using "mytyres.co.uk"
I\'ve tried black circles too but the price wasn\'t as good.
I\'ll give the other places you recommend a ring though. cheers si.
Have you tried Tyresonline.net, they are usually pretty good for prices.
i maybe able to get them at cost prices as my Bro inlaw to be works for a tyre company.
Let me know
ok i bagsy GMAN as my special friend :wave lol
Si
Si i am indeed your special friend, I have not forgotten about your previous request, and as it has been longer than i thought i will sort somthing out for you for free. I am viewing some new long sleeve tops soon so i will get you one.
PS - Paris details are up - what do you think?
lol cool i was looking at pictures of the original (http://mindscraps.com/s/ups/dvx_rune/smooch.gif) & it is a funny kinda neck on his but anything of a suitable blue will be sweet well probably not what most people will call it (http://mindscraps.com/s/contrib/blackeye/Eyecrazy.gif) PMSL, if there was also the option of an iron on stylee, or whatever the technique is..., appropriate logo & as such could you get a few suitable shirts if you come by them not looking for FOC so dont worry (http://smilies.crowd9.com/contrib/blackeye/kaching.gif) lol, but in all my searching i\'ve found sweet FA so a few to play with, so to speak, would be nice.
Paris sounds pucker but if you fancy telling misses you need to put off wedding that\'d be good, joking of course, as i\'m guna be skint for the next few months c/o car...(http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/eek7.gif) but i\'m sure i can scavange enough funds for such a jolly jaunt & will defo confirm this to ya by the 2nd......
Si [i believe the technical term is thrad hijack (http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/cowboy.gif) lol]
Cool, i\'m trying to keep the costs down as low as poss as i\'m skint aswell, i will check the ferries to see if it is cheaper than eurotunnel as that is the bulk of the cost.
I wish I could move the wedding cos i\'m missing Japfest and Rotorstock, grrrrrr

Yes please - I need to get this sorted soon so if you could give me a total quote (including delivery) on Eagle F1\'s:
2 x Front:235/45ZR17
2 x Rear:255/40ZR17
I\'d appreciate it. The best price including delivery I can find at the moment is about £460 (inc VAT) so if you can beat that it\'s a done deal.
Cheers.

too right!
£405.37 including delivery and VAT.
Fantastic! - cheers guys.
:D :D :D :D
I\'m pretty tempted by Eagle F1\'s at that price - I\'m a bit confused as to exactly which ones to get tho.
http://www.goodyear.co.uk/services/tyreguide/schematicoverviewCar.html
is, apparently, the list of tyres, and there\'s a choice of 5 different F1\'s. I\'m sure I\'ve heard GSD3\'s mentioned, is that a sensible choice? The problems I have are mostly grip in the wet on jap tyres, I\'ve never had any problems in the dry.
Advice appreciated,
Rick
GS-D3s are the ones most people use. These repalced teh GS-D2s which are no longer made, but covered a larger wheel size range.
Rick, the issue with Jap rubber is that it is very hard compound. Not much good in the wet, and takes forever to warm up for good dry grip levels.
Depending on what size you need I would recoommend the following.
16\'s
Toyo T1-S
Continental Conti-Sports
17\'s
Toyo T1-S
Bridgestone S-03
Goodyear GS-D3
These are in MY opinion all good tyres. Some will not agree.

Certainly was a bit hairy at points the other night when I was following David McIntyre to and from the Bluewater Wharf pub meet!
Going to have to get something soon but I\'ve just realised that I don\'t have the locking adaptor so it\'s a bit of a bugger to get the wheels off. I\'ll have to find someone who can sort it out for me.
It was you with the huge AP brakes and exhaust flamage at the Wharf pub the other night wasn\'t it? very nice - If so, I\'ll definetly trust your tyre recommendations as anything that can handle brakes that big is worth the money!
Have you had a look in the left hand cubby hole in the boot, theres a little section in there that holds the locking wheel nut adaptor, so you may still find it there.

That was me. :evillaugh :evillaugh :evillaugh
I really need to get someone else to drive it with me following as I want to see how large the flames can get. ;)
The brakes work even better when you have slicks that are nice and warm and going around a track like donington. :D
Dan
After several people commenting on the sound my car makes and also the flames I kind of want someone to drive mine too. Not sure I trust any of my friends with it though, plus a couple of them are scared to just get in it so they wouldnt be up to much :D
i\'m available for hire if anyone wants a driver i could use sum practice till mine turns up since it\'s taking sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long (http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/contrib/tweetz/spock.gif)

[yoda mode] mmmm... patience, you need! [/y m]
Not long now though, eh Si? Mine is almost ready, so I\'m guessing yours is too :)
dont go there (http://cmw.dailymoviereviews.com/contrib/sarge/Disappointed_anim.gif) was hoping to get it on Saturday but registering is still work in progress it would seem.......................

I\'d quite happily do a swap except for the fact that I\'d be worried that I might overbrake on a corner whilst you on the other hand might underbrake given those big APs of yours :p
Certainly the most impressive flamage I have ever seen; normally you just get a quick flash - yours is the first car I\'ve ever seen with a full on 5 second plus bunsen burner styleee!
