New Toyos from Elite at Rainham, Essex [ Thank You ]

[bunnykins]

Just had these new tyres fitted on the fronts and the service from
Elite is always Top Class. They came out at £72.00 each fully
balanced and fitted !! very good price indeed.

So if you are in need of tyres, suspension, alloys etc I can highly
recommend them.

Speak to Keeef, he's a great guy and will always do his best for you.

Sounds like a good deal Bunny - post a review in the thread as soon as you have scrubbed them up. :twisted:

What model Toyo?? T1-R or S

T1-S as I prefer the thread on those, and driving back it was
so quiet - no road noise, and it was fun again driving the car.

I have toyos all round now in time for winter, got rid of the
feds at long last !

Think the ctr is bad for tramlining when the fronts are worn.

Did you get 215/40/17's or 205/45/17's??

You know the Toyos are great tyres :wink:

With all that grip in the wet, don't think i'd be doing any drifting
this winter

good price, but can't be bothered with buying tyres by post and waiting
for it - i'd rather just drive down and have them fitted.

I wanted them before xmas - not after

What tyres are you using ?

 

[Fire_2]

cheap price to use up the last of the T1-S stocks, i payed £92 each for the T1-R's from there some time ago.

but still very good tyres on road over the pots enjoy ur new found grip level

oh and iam sure sara still uses T1-S over the R's on trackdays.

It will be a shame if they stopped making the T1-S, as I prefer the thread
pattern, and alot of other good makes have that pattern.

not that much diff...

I find the T1R a great tyre :twisted:

I have yet to use the T1S Bunny, I will be sticking with the T1R in the future as I have yet to fault them 8)
