Sounds ok to me, £60-65 a corner fitted for Toyo T1R, Avon ZZ3 and Yoko Parada's is a decent price.

really good so far, not the best in the wet, but if you drive like a mad man in the wet you deserve to spin off

i used to have toyo T1 r's and IMHO there s**t, once warm they gripped then lost grip so once they where down was glad to see the back of them, but they are slightly better in the wet as the more tread pattern, but i love the yokohama prada spec 2's not so gd in the wet but in the dry i was really happy with them.

If you're not planning on fitting the tyres yourself I'd get a price from either Ians tyres in Huntingdon who always treated me well with good prices:
Unit 4
St. Margarets Way
Stukeley Meadows Industrial Es
Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE29 6EB
01480 458560

Or Saxon Gate Motorist Centre in Biggleswade who I've also found to be really cheap:

London Road Trading Estate,
London Road,
Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, SG18 8PS, UK
01767 314125

Both pretty local to you

i'll try the 1st one, i wouldnt recomend saxon gate to anyone with nice wheels... yeah they are cheap as chips but they managed to flipping up 3 wheel nuts on my car (used the excuse they were tigth and had welded on... which was a lie as i had taken them off a week before, there just a bunch on monkeys) plus then they clipped my wing mirror on the lift and snapped the side off it and then scratched my alloys... and theres a big sign saying we do not take responsibility for any damage so i was left with the damage and they charged me for the new nuts too so after going in for some cheap tires i came out with more money to have to spend

anyway rant over and thanks for the number in huntingdon i'll give them a try

Yep, good tyres but buy Eagles F1s, they're about the same price but the best tyre money can buy
