Scott 0 Posted November 30, 2004 I have had to call the FTO into service due to the clutch going on my Pug TD... but today I found a screw imbedded in my tyre... so I am trying to find two decent tyres that can be fitted tommorrow without fail. Does anyone have any ideas? Kwik fit / National tyres want over £90 per piece....for an average tyre Tyre Size: 205 / 50 / 16 / V rated Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 1, 2004 Just ring around mate, there must be somewhere near you with a pair of half decent tyres? Just don't go to Kwik Fit, they are robbing gits! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibber 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Its just an option that would you get you back on the road and more time to sort new tyres! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted December 1, 2004 I was gonna suggest Demon-Tweeks down in Wrexham... they've just sent me a pair of 205 45 16 YokoA539s for £120... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted December 1, 2004 I dont rate Yoko's in the wet mate.... my AVS Sport db's were very good on the VR6 but not anywhere near as good as my mates F1's GS-D3's... Dont forget my tyres are strange size for a 16 inch rim :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 1, 2004 true, but Demon also do other tyres! ;) I used my recent purchase as an example... 8) Good luck anyway... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
