M13KYF Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Having a problem sourcing these. Seems to be on a national back order an nowhere in stock. May have to go with Falken F452's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 may of found a pair of Toyo's at http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ for £307.98 all in. Falkens £245.60 all in. Only thing is whether to mix brands front and back. Currently gotToyo's on the front. anybody hear of them, seem to have good testimonials but thats easy to make up. Checked that there fitter can cope with the size and they can do up to 22's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sure I've heard that name before, are they a mobile fitter? Maybe I have seen their van around. I suggest googling them and see if anything nasty turns up, if not you should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If theres nothing bad, give them a go with Toyo, if there are horror stories then get some Falkens. They arent going to be that different if you take it easy. How long until the other pair need doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 a while yet. By the looks of things most reports are very good. A couple of bad ones but with it being down to the mobile fitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Would not mix if it was me, either one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'd say give them a try. Just keep a keen eye on them when they fit them and balance them. Also ask for them to hang around while you go for a test drive to see if there is any judder. If they are any good they should be happy to hang about, afterall if its not quite right how are you meant to get it fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah mate they're fine the rears were new in June and have only done 4k - I just want to feel that bit safer come winter - the zed's my daily driver and I don't want to have to banish my partner to the peasant wagon for the whole winter so that I can use the Astra ........I'm keeping the 'stones for summer and track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
