Tyres for group buy
Discussion
essntially this is for Turbster and Nick F, but can apply to others.
Im looking to buy some new Kumhos for this season (plus other vehicle tyres, trailer vans etc) and last year trailed round all the usual suspects only to find a local guy did a better deal especially when you included fitting and balancing.
i need sizes, specs, compounds and quantities at this stage and then i will get hold of the prices.
Cheers

on the 225s, but the 205s do seem to be readily available. Hi Craig
for the coming season - I will continue with Soft compound 205/50 R 15 at the front where most of the adverse wear take place , and 225/50 R 15 at the rear which dont suffer so much.I am happy with soft compounds please , and if the 225 is not available , is something slightly wider available.
As an alternative , I have a contact at Dunlop who maybe able to help if we knew sizes , names and compounds of their products.
Thanks
Steve

the 225s are on back order, myself and Paul have them on an 'as and when' basis as there will only be small quantities available when they do arrive in the UK. We cant however cancel them once they were ordered, so we have nailed our colours to the wall so to speak!
The 205s seem to be available easily, when do you need the 205s for? and when for the 225s? basically are both fronts and rears totally shot or do you need one pair more urgently than the others?
As for the dunlops, they do some nice List 1B tyres but not in the sizes we need (mostly only 13" or 17/18"s) and they arent as soft as the ridiculous Kumhos anyway. I guess they would be much better for trackdays or circuit racing though.

ill have some 225's for the rear thanks 
let me know what you need and when they are landing
edited to add, i think ill go for medium as my 2 week old soft 205 rears are already on the wear limiter . . . . . . . . will 225 wear better than this ?
god I hope so.

yes ours have arrived monday, cheers Nick.
Gurston does seem to have bad luck with the weather doesnt it when the scims appear? or is it wiscombe thats been wet in recent years?
IF the gods are smiling on me (and its a bloody big IF at the moment...) i shall be at Harewood with a totally untested car with loads of tinkered with bits and its looking like its gonna be wet. Oh joy... looks like i'll have my work cut out as tango Turbster is there too.
Let battle commence!

sorry DucatiGary, i havent checked this thread for ages until today and hadnt seen your post, apologies. As Nick said they do seem to be freely available again now, it seems a strike at their Far Eastern plant was the issue and the fact that they are shipped over rather than flown once production had got under way. Most outlets should be able to help you, or if your are local to the west midlands i can put you in touch with the guys weve bought through.
