Tony Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Avon and Toyo .... I think most have heard of them.. Over the weeks i have negotiated with all the branded manufacturers for the best deals if we use their products as first line recommendations. This may read a bit odd since "best deal and recommendation" seems like we would push the make? This is not the case.... I have issues with every manufacturers product line. Example i love the Goodyear F1 but i feel the new Asymmetric is pants, so if we were agents for Goodyear the Asymmetric would not be a recommendation. Anyhoo Avon and Toyo have some superb road/track rubber and we now have the chance to offer them as first line manufacturers :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Why don't you like the F1 A, because the mazda forums are against it? It's getting universally praised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dislike them but the customer feedback has been negative... Mainly> 1: Aggressive tramlining 2: Harmonics 3: Price At the moment i reserve judgment on the A.

nobbie Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Tony, have you spoken to Broadway for prices?, they seem pretty good, and that's where most garages get them from. My 4 ZZ3's came it at about £240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobbie Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 No, my dad has a fitting machine at the garage. Normally about £20 elsewhere to fit. They are on trade prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am opening accounts with the wholesalers now so it would be good to compare.... What size are your tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaumeister Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 So what's the first line recommendation for Toyo tyres, is it the T1-R or PX4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 So what's the first line recommendation for Toyo tyres, is it the T1-R or PX4? The PX4 is taking the industry to new levels.... On pure customer feedback they are the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prolex-UK Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 well done I used the R888's on Sunday and they were wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On pure customer feedback they are the one. You mean the Proxes 4?? Have them all round on my IS200 Sport, but would be difficult to say if they are that much better than the T1-R's on the IS250. I know it's a totally different car Tony, do you have Toyo T1-R 235-35-19 in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be needing tyres when you visit me? Well I will bring four with me but was thinking of changing the fronts as they look a little undertyred with the 225's. ...and I think if you check with Toyo 'PX4' is shorthand for 'Proxes 4' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
