marzman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Camskill or blackcircles.com will be the cheapest place to buy tyres. For drifting purposes, get yourself a set of 2nd hand wheels (17" JDM wheels are worth about £100 for 4 incl tyres) and then make friends with your local tyre garage (National Tyres, quick fit etc)... they will give you part worns that they were otherwise going to dispose of for free...

Stew Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Do a search. Not the answer you want but the price of tyres changes weekly (if not daily) and there will be lots of recommendations around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 depends on the tyre to where the cheapest place to buy it is. if you want falken 452's then camskill is your place, but you'll need to find a fitter. as for drifiting tyres see if you can find a supplier of part worns, i have a local near me, but i don't use part worns, but they would be ideal for drifting as you dpn't care about the tyre then. or if you want new drift tyres, try the nankang ditch finder, it has very little grip and should spin up nicely, and at about 60 a corner not to expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
