I think i might have found a slight problem though.

I dont think the Tyres on ebay come with valves. Am i right in thinking you need new valves when you fit new tyres.

If not i dont think i want to spend £244 on toyos when i can get a set of Khumo for £156

You don't have to..... They are only £1.50 each anyway

Khumo's are good and at £156 - bloody good value

I paid £96 for a pair (fitted balanced - new tyre valves etc) - to quote DubPolo - "mates rate" maybe he not such a mate!!!!

The cheapest price I got was £66 per tyre! Asked the guys at awesome and they said £43 is very good and they couldn't get anywhere near that price unless they bought loads! Go for the ones on ebay! They are a good price!

Where can i get hold of the new valves from?

As soon as i know this i'll place my money in the hands of paypal.

Hopefully by the summer i'll be lowered aswell, so my car will handle like its on rails.

when you get them fitted they will put new valves in!

Alright, i didn't know that

I just need to save up some pennies for some coilovers. The 40k service takes priority over coilovers though.
