NS Dev - 5/9/06 at 08:53 AM

Anybody got a good (i.e. cheap!) source of Yoko A048R's???

I am pretty much confined to George Polley's place in terms of my supplier knowledge.

Try www.camskill.co.uk,cheapest Ive found for AO48s,have you thought about toyo R888,Ive tried both,and there's not alot between them,only price,the toyo's are about 40% cheaper,another place I use for my R888 is www.tyretraders.co.uk,they also do good deals on sets of 4,with free delivery.

I was just about to suggest asking that nice bloke in Erdington - looks like he got in first.

Must start working on the car again - fancy helping me put up some shelving in the garage to make space (ok, i don't need help, just motivation)

Hi for motivation i would of thought that hearing nats fire up would of done it .

Regarding tyres if you couldent get to donny i would be willing to collect and either hold or bring them over one night if it helps. I supose it depends on what price other companys can do them for with p+p compared to polly with no p+p ?.

Only other company i have used for yoko's is adams and page down highwycombe way some where as they usualy had stock if polly was out off and good on price.

Cheers matt

What, his 1 litre fiat uno engine sound-a-like........ pah, crossflow sounds much better and its got a lot less bits to go wrong! Bring back points i say.

If Polly is at Donnington this weekend (assuming the tickets arrive) i'll be going so could pick some up then - although i'll have the girls in tow so i'll need plenty of warning to organise it.

cheers folks, will call George I think and check that he'll be at donny, if so, I should be there, or cheers for the volounteers if not. I'm not too far from donny anyway (20 mins if you are in a rush!)


procomp - 7/9/06 at 05:12 PM

cheers matt


MikeR - 7/9/06 at 05:55 PM

naah, you missunderstood, if you're in a rush its 20 mins, 19 in a LA Gold, around 45 in a stuart taylor with a 1 litre fiat fire engine like Nat


Jon Ison - 7/9/06 at 08:28 PM

Nat, if you take your wheels he will fit them for you.
