Anyone know a good place to pick up Toyos? I'm having a hard time finding them and when I do they seem to be at pretty high prices.

I got mine from http://www.camskill.co.uk/ - Fantastic service

when i got mine just before xmas, i sat with the yellow pages and rang round the local tyre fitters and managed to get them fitted cheaper then buying them online+ the fitting costs.

its always worth asking for a discount................. i could have got mine for £270 but its was 25 mile away, amazingly one place just down the road quoted £320 but with a bit of cheek and banter they managed to do them £260......... amazing where the discounts come from!!!!!!!!


btw that was for 4x 205/40/17's

your nearest supplier is Arrow Tyres at Southwick dont know what their prices are like,if you get stuck I may be able to help because I have a tyre deal with Toyo for racing. I take it you are looking for T1R PROXES.

Funny you'd think it would be cheaper to order online. Although I remember when I was getting quotes for Federals and everyone I rang was so interested in what I'd already been quoted before they gave me a price!

Ah thank you Chris! Well I spend half my life in Southwick (my mum & dad live there) so it's certainly no hassle to give them a phone or pop in!

Yes it's the T1R Proxes I'm after. If I have no luck with them I'll let you know.

No probs just glad to be useful

Good price and very good tyres, I use T1Rs on track, until such time I can justify R888s.

R888s are fabulous tires, no need to justify just save the pennies. once you have them you will not look back.

I know, I want coilovers first then the tyres I'll need to justify that with the wife!

Not heard of R888s I must confess. Can you give me the skinny?

R888s are more of a track tyre and even Toyo don't recomend them for normal day to day road use. They are a road legal track tyre and have less tread than a standard road tyre. This means that they cannot disperse water as fast as a proper road tyre.

This is a bit telling "Caution: Careful attention is required in wet conditions due to limited aquaplaning capabilities. As this tyre is designed and produced with competition compounds, no warranty is implied or given"

I got mine from Camskill, excellent service but phone around for fitting & Balancing prices. I got mine done for £5 each but was quoted almost £20 each wheel at one place!
