Local tyre shops please to Yeovil?

[mboon]

I need some for the back of my new car. Currently running 225/40/18ZR rated. Looking to up this to deal with the power to 235/40/18ZR.

Its going on a 8 1/2 inch wide wheel on the back.

I currently have Toyo Proxy T1R's and they seem fine, grips well enough etc. I have had a quick look around and it seems to be the best part of £200 a corner which seems alot. Never paid that much for my M3 and that was a 245 on the back?

I have looked on Black circles and kwik fit so far, will try all my locals as well.. Anyone know of others please? I am in Somerset BA21 so any of you local guys know anything?

thanks

Mark

Perhaps 235/40/18 is an uncommon size. They usally command a bit of a premium. Cant you use 245/35/18? Might be cheaper. Have you looked on places like Etyres and mytyres or Ebay for a price comparison? Tyres have increased in price quite a bit in recent months aswell.

I've dealt with Quedam tyres before - seemed good at the time.

They are the ones that charged me £20 a corner Didnt go much on them. I use the one down near DCB... Bathwick which have always been great but I dont think this car will make it into there workshop

Might be a bit late but I use Gillingham Tyre Factory. Tell Tyler there AerialAndy with the white GTR recommended you and he'll sort out a good deal.

topgear in bridport did a good deal on my toyo r1r's, might be worth a call or see what they are selling them for on ebay and they will match the price and do free fitting. might be a pain getting there now as the tunnel is closed.

edit just found them on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyo-Proxes-T1-Sport-235...

Hi Guys, managed to find them online for £115 delivered. I got a mate who will fit for £10 a wheel. I am still on the look for cheaper though if anyone can beat that?

eboys? is that someone in Yeovil?

[eggchaser1987]

Not in Yeovil but near, philips tyres in castle cary or Shepton mallet tend to be quite good.

Try tyres2u.co.uk ....a mobile tyre fitting company based in Yeovil, i had 2 fitted and because i met him rather than him come to me he knocked off another £5 each tyre, worth a try .

Hi Guys,

I have used tyres 2 u on our 330i, very good guys but cannot match the price I have found.

Castle Carry one etc by the time you have added fuel to get there and back will be more than I have found as well Not sure I am going to beat what I have found.

Thanks.

£5 is fair enough,is that just on wheel off car [inc. balance] or did they actually fit them on car for that as well?

Do they do nitrogen as well or just air inflation?

[Johnnytheboy]

Pemco Pitstop on the Pen Mill have been good and cheap for us before.

[IT1GTR]

Get the tyres from camskill.co.uk

Quickfit will fit them for £10-20 in cash if you turn up and ask nice.

Seconded - I've used Philips exclusively for years. Nigel is about to launch a tyre shaving/buffing service, too...
