I know this has been covered before but I can never get the search function on this site to find anything!

I need to buy 4 new tyres for my 1996 Turbo R

- My Turbo R has 17" wheels so I believe I can buy alternative to Avon Turbospeeds? Has anyone found an alternative that rides similarly to the Turbospeeds?

- Does anyone know where I can get a good price on Avon Turbospeeds?

Thanks
Piers

Just had to change all 4 tyres on my 96 RL. Had used Goodyears Eagle F1s. Now trying Toyo Proxes CF1s.

Goodyears lasted 7000 miles. Lets see how Toyo do. Very reasonable at just over £100 a corner. Will feed back performance once sccrubbed in.
