Title: Buggeration and bastardy!
Post by: rotorhead666 on July 09, 2004, 06:12:17 PM
i ordered my new tyres for my new wheels yesterday from blackcircles.com,who phoned me up 30 mins later to say that Toyo Proxes T1-Rs had sold out,and they were waiting for a new shipment which will take another couple of weeks.After 4 years of waiting,i get a last minute setback like this!Feels like it will take forever,waiting for those tyres to turn up.Badness!Crapping myself to see what my new wheels will look and handle like, fitted!

i\'m getting 195/50/15s,was going to get 205s for the back,but my 195 Hankooks did a reasonable job most of the time!And the T1-Rs should be infinitely superior,or have i been swallowed by the Toyo propaganda machine?Curiously,the wheels are stamped G100,but the person i bought them from found out they were actually 4x114 from OZ.Wheels are 7" wide,and 40mm offset,so they should be perfect.Hope so!

Nice rims, i used to work for goodyear and had some 235/35/18 egale f1\'s on a vito van it used to stick to the road lovely, and the toyo\'s are a good tyre, they also used to do well in testing and there not a bad price so there worth waiting for.
