Adie Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm looking to get 4 x brand new 18" tyres. Preferably Toyo T1R's. Does anybody know a cheap / good place to buy from? TIA Adie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jap Devil Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 This is by far the cheapest place I've found: MyTyres.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adie Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks guys.. @ Ahmet what size am i looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adie Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Actually Mike maybe you could help me. The wheels i'm getting from Ahmet are the 18" Chicaine. I think they are the same as yours (and everybodys). What size tyres did you go for mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Position 235/35/18 all around, some slight rubbing at the front on full lock. They come out tops in several tests.

Adie Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks mate Are they better than the new Toyos? Can you recommend some good wheel nuts also + locking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap Devil Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks mate Are they better than the new Toyos? Without a doubt. Toyos are excellent rubber but not up to the same level as the Bridgies. Only the Mich Pilot Sport is probably better but have you seen the price of those!

Mr Singh Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 www.tyretraders.com and www.johnsontyres.com I've used johnsons and there price was unbeatable for my 19s.... unless i went over to US! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 some slight rubbing at the front on full lock. They come out tops in several tests. Thats a bit concerning on 18's, unless your car is very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adie Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I think mine is pretty low too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap Devil Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I think mine is pretty low too Let's compare notes, I'll start a new thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adie Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I think mine is pretty low too Let's compare notes, I'll start a new thread I aint going out measuring but you can ask dave or the Prolex techy what ever he lowered mine by as I have no clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Have a look in the garage....I think it qualifies as being very low Doesn't look to be that low,looks the same as mine when it was lowered so it seems a bit odd that yours is rubbing on 18's.

Cous3 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Mmmm.........So if I have 225/40/18's put on my TTE Chicane's can I still use eibachs or simular springs to drop it -35 without any problems??
