Hi, I have finally decided to change my P-Zeros for some Toyo T1R's. What sort of price should I expect to pay for a full set fitted (195 fronts, 225 rears)? I have been given a price of £440 fitted. However I have seen them on the web for about £300. £140 for fitting seems a lot?

Has anyone had these fitted recently in the south east area?

Have you consideres BF Goodrich Pro force, or some name like that. They are also getting a good name on SELOC.
If you are interested in them be careful what you ask for as BFG have 2 types of tyres with very similar names. Its all explained on SELOC

For that you're not far off a set of Advans (about £30 more). I'd trade up and get the Yoko's mate.

Bookatrack were doing full sets of Advan Neova LTS for £399 fitted and balanced inc. vat, might be worth giving them a call.

Hi, Thanks for advice. Bookatrack only fit the tyres at events if I remember correctly. I have seen the Toyos for less than £300 on mrtyre.co.uk. Would anyone advise against buying the tyres and then getting a local fitter to fit them? (Kwikfit etc)?

Try www.camskill.co.uk

I bought mine form there a month or so ago.

Think they came in at about £240 for the set, they even offered a little discount for buying the set and delivered them to Horizon who were servicing my car.

I think Horizon charged me around a tenner per wheel for fitting and balancing.

Been very pleased with the T1-Rs by the way. I changed from P0s as well. They certainly feel different to the P0s which I actually really like but they inspire loads more confidence when the roads are damp. Grip at the limit is more progressive as well.

Cheers

the tyres cost £240 as they gave me £10 off for having them delivered to a work address!
