Have to replace my rear tyres 255/35ZR18's.
Best price for Toyo's I've found is around £ 175.
Can get a Falcon tyre for around £100 fitted.
Questions ...are there different compound toyo tyres at that size and if so which one is recommended?
Whats the best place to get Toyo's? And anyone tried the Falcon?

try www.mytyres.net you will find the Toyo's are so much cheaper.

Did look at mytyres but couldn't find any Toyo's for 255/35/18". I'll give them a ring tomorrow or do you use a different size on 18"s?

Sometimes if they are out of stock you will not see the tyres listed on mytyres.net. They do sell 255/35/18 toyo's as I got some from them in April for £135.70 inc delivery and vat.

If you use the car for track days Toyos take a while to warm up....just a thought...

I had a set of Falcons on a set of wheels I brought for my old 400SE, not a great deal of grip and also got a sudden flat with no visible sign of damage which almost ended in an accident.
Also on the way back from Le Mans someone in a Porsche had a blow-out at about 120MPH, the whole tyre delaminated and caused alot of damage to the car.
I'd go for the Toyo's
