rickya Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 As the title says, which ones should I fit on the zed, I can get them both at the same price. (Usually the Michelins are a bit more expensive than the Toyos). I have used Michelins on my old M3 before & they were very very good but have no experience of Toyos, apart from the good reviews Iv read & positive feedback from other zed owners on here using them. (I will be changing all four) Toyos from www.mytyres.co.uk: (Not fitted, so add approx £40) 225/45/18 £106 x 2= £212 245/45/18 £129 x 2= £258 fitting £ 40 Total £510 MPS from Costco who are doing 20% off: (fitted) 225/45/18 £107 x 2= £214 245/45/18 £150 x 2= £300 Total £514 (these are GT spec, non Rays sizes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Only got experience of the Toyo. Bought them recentley and so far enjoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 again, only Toyo experience, not as stiff a sidewall as the Bridgestones, but still miles better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm interested in this as well, just been quoted £173 each for the rears fitted for Michelins. What price have you been qouted as the Toyos are a fair bit cheaper normally. Michelins from ATS with 25% off. Don't want to be getting ripped off.

M13KYF Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Got my toyos from ATS Two weeks ago. £138 each with AA discount fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Only had Toyos and am happy with them - much better than the Stones... heard that the MPS ones are the ones to go with if you can afford them though. Talk to Forum member Andy - he may be able to do you a good deal... he did with me! ( More commission Andy.... lol ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I take it you guys are all running on 18" wheels. Anybody put the Toyos on the standard JDM 17" wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 What tyre speed rating is recommended for the Z, assuming one is not intending to exceed JDM speed limit of 112mph, of course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 in that case , T ? otherwise it has to be ZZZZZZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captint Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have the MPS and I'm not that impressed, will be changing to toyos when the time comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks chaps, looks like it will most probably be the Toyos R1yde that www.camskill.co.uk is pretty cheap! Are they quite reliable & quick with delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I used them once and they were very good. I think Andy off this forum might be able to beat their price though, PM him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Whilst we are on the topic of tyre choices, anyone had any experience of Goodyear F1's on a Zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 If I remember rightly they don't do the front wheel size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Right guys, have had a good old chat with my Toyo rep and after plying him doughnuts and coffee, he has agreed to do us a special price on the Z setup of 225/45/18 & 245/45/18. We currently have 2 complete Toyo T1-R sets in stock and will keep stock from now on and I can now offer them for £450 including delivery and vat. Delivery will be on a next day basis to mainland UK so long as you order them before about 3.30 otherwise we will miss our courier!! Let me know guys!!

rickya Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Slightly off topic but I today fitted a set of 17" Nankangs on my BMW for a total price of £260 fitted. For some intersting info on these very good budget tyres see the links below: http://forum.bmwcarmagazine.com/viewtopic.php?t=45157&highlight=nankang http://forum.bmwcarmagazine.com/viewtopic.php?t=51463&sid=b188eb0184b228cbf2dc6abec7b3e2ba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 If you are doing any track work MPS are the daddies. Cant complain about Toyos either tho. I just think the Michelins eek out the last bit of grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
