How did you get on with the Toyo's? any good as this is what I was planning too also how much did you pay for each tyre fitted?

Also I'm only down the road from you in Bromley , I've been finding it difficlut to find a wide variety of choice when it comes to 195/40/16 at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

The Toyo's are very good, I'm extremely pleased with them

I didn't pay for the tyres, as my Dad has a tyre and wheel shop in Mitcham, near Croydon

The choice for 195/40/16's is somewhat limited, and pricey, but the choice is of very good quality.

It's nice too see someone else living near me

Cheers for getting back to me.

Yeh, I know Mitcham I've got some friends nearby in Norbury.

If you do find some prices out for that size post'em up as your Dad may have a new customer

Yeah, no problem. I'll get some prices once my Dad comes back from skiing in Austria.

Cool Ollie,

PM me the prices, I'm looking to get the car re-shoed in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks
