got a puncture on outer edge so tyre is fooked got a great looking space saver on at the moment which beside looking pants has no grip whatsoever
anyways just wondering where the best place to get tyres from is as cant seem to get any quotes below £170 cheers
Why don\'t you just get the puncture repaired. Usually around £15.
u cant repair a puncture if its near the wall, ive tried and the tyre shops wont touch it
Ah yes, I remember there was a part of the tyre that cannot be repaired. Shame.
Try camskill.co.uk
I put R888\'s on the rear of my ethanol FD,one blew out for no known reason after only 2 weeks,2ft split in the side! It wasn\'t flat before it went.Will post up a pic tomorrow.
Havn\'t certain batches of Toyos had warnings about them? I seem to remember some of them were made in the far east where the compound wasn\'t suited to UK roads?
There\'s horror stories about all tyres - Yoyo\'s, Falkens, Eagle F1\'s - none are going to be 100% perfefct unfortunately.
All i an tell you is that I\'ve been in a mk1 Eunos roadster with stock size 888\'s all round, and it was fcuking incredible. I\'ve been round Combe and Curborough in it, and up Prescott Hill, and it was easily staying with the big boys with at least twice as much power - Snapping at the heals of an Exige, giving a sever headache to an R33 GTR...
Brilliant, Brilliant tyres.

Really? Please tell me more.
Hmm its typical I can\'t find more info on it now :( I seem to remember it was posted up on another forum I was a member of a while back
There was a warning from late last year that resurfaced earlier this year, but it was about usage/storage in very cold/frosty conditions as it affected the compound.

I\'m not heard of any others.
I have four semi slicks that have only done about 1000 miles, mostly motorway, that are sitting in the garage. Two Toyos and two something else, maybe Dunlops ?
Open to offers, they\'re still sitting on MS-02s so would have to be removed.
Mart.
using 888`s for time attack and have no complaints. Where pretty useless in wet but awsome in the dry with new suspension setup.
QuoteI have four semi slicks that have only done about 1000 miles
If no one else is interested I will have these, size depending ofcourse.
it was a piece of metal that went into the tyre but was to near the sidewall to repair
what size are the toyo semi slicks that you have??
i need a 255/40 r17
i agree ther r888\'s are fantastic in the dry but when it get wet there as much use a c%*k flavoured lolly pop
here are the pictures of the blown out R888 from the rear of Tim\'s E85 car.(http://www.rxmotors.co.uk/Media/PICT0386.JPG)
