The Federals seem quite cheap - I was expecting £100 per corner, even for non-run flats. Want something with plenty of grip for all seasons and all weather! What about Pirreli Non- Run Flats?
Good to hear i wasn't the only one getting screwed around....i'll just BS them back or take my business elsewhere!
Toyo Proxies, fitted and balanced for £89.99 per corner. Sound reasonable? I know Gismo is running these and never had much problems with all his power, so guess they'll be pretty good for my tiny little cooper!
Other option was Avons at £90 - i've heard good things previously, but for cars like Saxo VTS, Astra GSI's (Chave cars in effect!). Thoughts?
Aye but you were running your 18's that have terrible 'wet' tyres on themOriginally Posted by Crombers
Oh yeah, like the time a few of us nipped up to Knockhill & you wee'd all over me

Don't think you can go too wrong with P7's or P Zeros but are they not rather expensivealmost as much as the run flats

You stay in Scotland....I now (unfortuantly some would say) stay in Englandshire. Wait a minute....still bl**dy wet down here too!!....in the wet but what are they like in the dry
Reckon i'm going to go ahead with the Toyo's, unless anyone pops up in the next few hours and say's - "God no, they are rubbish!"
Turns out I actually have a Federal SS on my front left at the moment. But it's the one that the tyre wall is coming away from the rest of the tyre...as a result I'm now a little put off!!
I have just changed from Pirelli Pzero neros to Toyo T1-R's. Toyos are in another league imo. The Pirellis were seriously hard and actually made me check my dampers once on the Mini One.
Toyos handle well in both wet and dry roads. Only thing I can fault is that the tread seems to be going down awful quick ha

Toyo's ok from my perspective
t1-r's all the way for me........... camskill.co.uk is the cheepest in uk me thinks
Don't think they've invented a tyre yet that would tame the horses your front wheels are churning out Alan
