They don't look particularly cheap to me. I recently had my daily driver completely shod with 205/55*16s for £180 all in (a budget tyre - Tracmax - they work very well!). Etyres budget tyres are over £10 more each!

just used 'mytyres.co.uk' for a set of new boots.

Toyo PROXES T1-R

good service and delivered without issue will use them again. Mind the price has gone up by £17 per tyre since my purchase?

Took the car for a decent run today and very impressed with the toyo's.

as ever shop around for the best deal.

Hi :D
No
I did a deal with a local dealer who have a contract with our Limo's on these tyres best price i could get.
Nexens N2000 can be ordered online with or without fitting.
Prices from £45 a tyre on google Nexen N2000 gives you a link for UK dealers & reviews.
Cheers Roger :D

Hi :D
Yes it is always best to shop around for the best deals on Tyres
Price vary so much in the UK. :shock:
Reviews can be helpful for budget tyres rather than paying TOP price for brand names :?:
Cheers Roger
