proxies fair price?

[DomP182]

Ive been quoted £71.95 +vat each for full fitting and balance for Toyo proxies T1Rs, is this a fair price? Looking for a decent replacement for my tired exaltos, any others worth a look?

 

[clio-0wner]

if this is for all four supplied n fitted then yeah thats a really good price

 

[DomP182]

Each mate

 

[clio-0wner]

have you looked on camskills they seem to have good prices

 

[DomP182]

No but getting them fitted when you supply your own tyres is going to p**s off the local tyre place

 

[long_guts]

try http://www.blackcircles.com

If there 15" then that's a rip

 

[DomP182]

Nah 205 45 16s, Im over thinking it.....Again

I paid £300 for 4 of those fitted/balanced in 195/45 x 16 at a local to me tyre place 4 months ago.

 

[DomP182]

I suppose that makes them not too bad pricewise, from my experience on my old 172 though they were a bit quick to wear. Going to miss my exaltos probably

 

[DomP182]

Which Kumhos? KU39? Ive been quoted £ 76 fitted for them. I read rainsports are not good for summer use

Not really,

I'm always doing it, Never had any of them complain. I think they are glad for any business to be honest.

Was the guy wearing a mask when he quoted you?
£73 fitted INC vat through tyretraders. Try Camskill and blackcircles too. For fitting don't pay more than a tenner each if you get them delivered. Could get Hankook V12 evos fitted for the price of your T1Rs.
Rainsports are fine for normal road use, dry track abuse is what they don't like.

 

[Ady182]

I've just got uniroyal Rainsports, fantastic in the wet, not so fantastic in the dry lol (80% surefootedness lol)

P zero neros in 195/45/16 are only about £78 fitted if you look online.

 

[ClioDS]

I got 2 T1R's for £55 + vat in 205/45/16

I got 2 T1R's for £55 + vat in 205/45/16

where?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

supprisingly on fleabay i got T1R's 195/45/16 and they were £55

 

[Gibs]

But 205 are usually about tenner more.

Wheres that? Ive looked but cant find them. Not sure whether it is where I live that gives me less choice with buying online tyres fitted.

 

[Adam G]

Tyretraders are about that, £80 fitted for W rated if you use "casper" in the discount box, then choose your local fitting centre.

 

[105e]

Would think all branded tyres have good/bad points, better in some areas, worse in others, doubt any are sh***

 

[M@tt_182]

T1R's are ok but would much prefer Hankook V12's over them.

Blackcircles £78 , Bestbuytyres.co.uk (they use Drexel fitting centres a fair bit I think) Are currently £74 ish , F1 Autocentres £77

RS2s are more expensive on the above sites from what I can see in the same sizes.

(I'm looking at tyres for mine hence knowing prices lol)

 

[Harpham]

For my 195/50/15 T1Rs, I paid about £40 per tyre fitted.

Why do people say that?? Do they offer a price for partial fitting? Perhaps only fit half of the tyre and leave the rest hanging off the rim?

 

[105e]

I took it as meaning the full "fitting and balance" all in as opposed to there being any additional cost .

 

[MikeB85]

T1R's definitely arent s**te Have them on My 182, (just had two new ones fitted to the front incidently) I used mytyres.co.uk - bit pricey though this time round. IMO they grip like hell, even though its been p1ssing it down non stop lately. Looking forward to some dry weather.

Never have been able to fault Proxies since owning an MR2, the car was undriveable on motorways in the wet with its previous tyres on, put proxies on and it was as safe an grippy as anything.

Great tyres for the budget IMO. Haven't tried Hankooks though so I can't compare to those

 

[ConnorCup]

Shame you have 16", theres a company selling 195/50 15's for £153 delivered on ebay. I just bought a set.

[pbufton]

Was it you I was speaking to in Kington saturday morning?

Theres a seller on ebay, JJC race and rally, his prices arent bad. Or Ears motorsport, they're another. As for fitting, ATS Euromaster quoted me £11 per tyre fitted and balanced so I'll be doing that i think.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Nah 205 45 16s, Im over thinking it.....Again

I bought some from Wheelbase via ebay the other week for £57 ea and had fitted locally.
