Am browsing about looking for some new rubber for da pimp-mobile, any recomendations of sites for cheap tyres

[Bubba]

Try http://www.mytyres.net/ - Cheapest for the Toyo Proxes I run....

cheers, managed to find some nice pirelli p zero nero's off tyres-2-you.co.uk for 120 quid each fitted which is fuckin cheap (thats whats on it now) for what they are

[Bubba]

I managed to get a local(ish) tyre dealer in Buxton to match the price from mytyres.net and it worked out at £97 each + fitting which is well cheap for 245/35 18s.

thats some big ass tyres, makes mine look small at 215/45 17's

[Bubba]

I wouldn't have bought 18"s myself because I think they're at the limit for ride quality on uk roads (super low profile, about 1" of tyre) but they guy who had the car before put them on and they do look bloody nice.

[Jim]

what are they like on old concrete motorways?
bet its bloody loud cos mine are

[Bubba]

Not too bad, but the car's also been soundproofed a bit, though that's mainly the boot I think. Thing is, compared to the old car which had a ridiculously loud Magnex zorst, anything is quiet. It used to hit a resonant frequency at certain speeds that would have any rear passangers begging for mercy  :D
