Mark H. Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Well done WIM. Just in time to offer some discount on winter tyres . Not sure what size for the MR2 which my Uncle has now, cant afford any for the Porsche . Going to get another set of standard MR2 alloys to put them on.

Mark H. Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Can you send them? and what size would you recommend for the MR2? It runs 205 50 15 and 225 50 15 but i think standard fronts are 195 55 15. What are good makes and sizes at reasonable cost which will keep a similar rolling radius. Thanks.

Mark H. Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Ok, thanks Tony. The rims are 15"x6" front and 15"x7" rear i believe for a '95 model. If you could list some models and sizes with the price i'll discuss the options with my Uncle then get them fitted locally when they and some rims have arrived.

Tony Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think a number of factors has fell in to place.... 1: Our visibility footprint online 2: Our ethos within fast-fit delivering i welcomed relief from the normal expectations 3: Product supply line 4: Time of year ( winter ) 5: VAT rise in Jan Jay and myself have a great team who enjoy their work and involve the customer in the job. This open attitude and involvement is a knickers down open attitude most owners welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Tony, in the user manual for the mr2 it states the following sizes for winter tyres. Front : 195/55/r15 Rear : 225/50/r15 or : 215/50/r15 Not sure which will be cheaper for the rear, maybe your guys could compare which is cheaper over a couple of brands.

Mark H. Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 . I have found some 195 snowproxies at camskill but they don't do 50 profiles in 15" for the rears. Wonder where else i can try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark H. Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 They don't seem to list any winter tyres online. Some companies seem to make the size abroad but not sold in the UK it would seem. Probably a fairly uncommon size, you need to up the side wall to 65 from 50 if you want 225 which is quite a bit bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I called up to have a look at some 205 width tyres and whether i can go to 205 50 or 60 which are quite common winter sizes or not. Hopefully get a call back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
