ewan221 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 My usual suppliers cant get hold of a pair of 245/45/18 in Falkens or Toyo's only hankook or Avon Z33 available, tried black circle and camskill and they only have 1 in stock. have but any other sugesstions for online suppliers ? Quote
JetSet Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'm also having problems getting Falkens. I'm told that there is no stock of the size I want (and many others) in The U.K at all but that a shipment is on its way over (on a boat) and should be here in 2-4 weeks. Pete Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 if your depserate also look at the uniroyal rainsport 2 an often forgotten about tyre that actually performs very well and easily on par with toyos and falkens. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Uniro ... port-2.htm very highly rated if money can stretch also try goodyear eagle F1 asymmetrics Quote
glrnet Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I posted this last Weds, hope it helps:- it's in the tyre review guide Page 18 This is info I have gathered today and to my knowledge is accurate, it may or may not be useful when considering tyres at the moment and you should double check yourself as the situation will change. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 245 x 45 x 18 Rears - available Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 225 x 45 x 18 Fronts - "none in the country and on back order, won't be in the country before mid March" If you order them direct from Vred then you won't get them before May, i.e. you go to the back of the queue. Toyo Proxes T1R Only fronts available, these tyres are apparently now discontinued and will be replaced with an asymmetric tread pattern, release date in the UK currently unclear. This info is from tyre manufacturers and major on line distributors, you maybe lucky and find them at smaller local tyre distributors but I couldn't. I hope this is useful. Quote
HaydnH Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 the tyre men +1, or tyrexpress.com - with the later you can find your local fitter on the website, get the tyres delivered there and they'll call you when they arrive. Slightly more expensive than tyremen but may be worth it for the ease of fitting etc... both were cheaper than camskill last time I checked. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Hankook Ventus V12 evo k110 and Hankook Ventus RSS Z211 both worth a look as well. i think all the tyres i have mentioned all fit within the toyo falken vredestein bracket for price. also lots of other options if you willing to spend the money. Continental contisport 2 or preferably 3's are very good, MPS 2's if you are very flush. Quote
ewan221 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Hankook Ventus V12 evo k110 and Hankook Ventus RSS Z211 both worth a look as well. . I didnt think there was much love for hankooks on the big tyre thread ? Quote
glrnet Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Have a look here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyres_For/Nissan/350z.htm Quote

I didnt think there was much love for hankooks on the big tyre thread ? Dixon at DMS raves about them as does the bloke at GarageR (S2000 trader) i suppose it depends on which ones you get; hankooks wouldn't be my first choice, but they are superior to nankangs by a long shot.

HaydnH Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Personally I'd shop around and get the tyres you want! If you're stuggling to find the tyres you want have a word with Alex and get some used ones to hold you over. Quote

HaydnH Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 tyrexpress have MPS2s, Vreds and Toyos in stock, no Falkens though. Cheap as well. Quote
