xStric9x Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Hi all. I have a good friend who owns a tyres and exhaust garage and also is one of the cheapest in Wrexham.After a conversation with him earlier i kinda get the feeling he could do us some good deals on tyres. So as many of you have different size wheels i was wondering if everybody could throw some tyre sizes this way and i could post some prices from budget(not that you may want this tyre)to top notch tyres. After i have a few tyre sizes it will prob take me a couple of days to get some quotes. If any of you want a specific make please specify Quote
toffeeman Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Toyo Proxes T1-R (2x) - 245 x 45 x 18 (2x) - 225 x 45 x 18 Quote
Zzzz... Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Would it not be easier if you picked 3-4 popular tyre brands... Falkens, Toyos, BS, and Michelins Select the 18" sizes (225/45/18 and 245/45/18) and the 19" (whatever they are ... 245 and 275?????) and agree with your supplier some %age discount by numbers e.g 5 orders of toyos = 10%, 10 orders = 15% etc... 5 michelin = 7% etcetcetc... for each brand and size... having this kind of information up front might encourage a few here to think about changing tyres or ordering for keeps-later.... Anyway just an idea... Quote

Digsy Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Most people with 19" rims run 245/35 and 275/35. Quote

Product bud! though he did say he's never fitted one to a zed, but apparently its something to do with the tyre wall blowing. He got in contact with his suppliers and they told him they've had a few complaints of late. Quote

jonathan73 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 "Please don't ask me why but James said he won't deal with toyo's because of the amount of problems he has had with them" I got a similar story from a tyre place recently about Toyos so I'm considering sticking with Potenzas! But I want 265x40x18 for my rear. Will you please get a price for me? Thanks Quote
