Hi all,
That time of year again, TYRES need refreshed so any place to get Toyo Proxes T1R and the cheapest place to get them.

We all love a bargain if we can get one.

So come on and help save a few quid.

Cheers

What area are you in?

Murray Tyres in portadown are good, usually have them in stock too.
Lurgan Tyre Centre are cheap and very good but you generally have to order brands.

Hard to beat Camskill's prices

Although you'll need to get them fitted locally.

A Datsun's what you get if you need drivers aids and you can't manage a TVR--ask Mrs Mac!

Driver aids are nice on Datsuns Davey especially launch control and torque vectoring laughlaugh
Although in the Sag it was which direction your knackers were heading that usually gave the clue for steering input!
Camskills for cheap tyres although as mentioned earlier have to get them fitted.
My contact at Dunlop unfortunately hasnt got back to me yet Davey reference the Direzza track day tyres.

It's Mrs Mac here - just to let you know that driving a datsun is a lovely experience. Having sold Roary the Griff, it's onwards for this old granny type and her new wee Z. I don't know anything about tyres except they should keep you on the road, the ones I have now are v. good - better than the (baldy)ones Mr Mac let me drive about on, whilst telling all and sundry that I wasn't keeping up in the Griff!!!!I was scared stiff whilst sliding all over the place AND keeping up. He doesn't know I saw him rummaging about in the bureau looking for my life insurance LOL.

Bob and I have started a new and better club for top notch drivers and car ownwers. atsun drivers only, need apply.

Colin, call Carryduff tyres, I always use them and found them as cheap as anywhere else and they take a lot of care when fitting them.

Yes heard good reports for these boys, but they were still dearer than kwik fit for Goodyear F1s
Keep trying Colin
Davey might give the 9th a whirl.

Although I can't remember the price I know that the difference between Black circle and Grand prix in Ards was less than £5 per tyre.

How much do places normally charge for fitting?

I'm actually in the same boat, just bought a set of Toyota Alloys and need 4 Tyres for them. The TOYO's seem to be good value at £308 Delivered for 4 of them (224/45/17).

What are the T1R's like? They seem to get great reviews!

If anyone knows of anywhere that would do them for a similar price, or if anyone maybe wants to go in and try buy them all at once? Let me know!

We have T1R's on the rear of the 350zVery impressed with handling both on wet and dry conditions.
I am going to put them om the front of the Sagaris as well.
As mentioned before Grand Prix tyres Newtonards would be worth chacking.
