wrxmania Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Thanks and good job to Extreme Motorsport in Whitburn who sourced and fitted a lovely new set of Toyo T1-R's to my 17's which will, finally, go on the car - YIPPEE!!!!!!!! The price was as good as I could find anywhere - the only place cheaper was eBay by £5 quid a tyre but that did no include the fitting. The rims have been looked after, balanced well, tyres fitted the correct way round (had this done wrong many times) and even new valve covers thrown in free. I have used Swifts/Extreme for a few years now for servicing, pro-align as well as tyres, brakes, oil changes etc. They now also have Dastek rollers, official suppliers for many parts including Whiteline and are a Subaru & Mitsubishi specialist. Worth a look in. John Swifts EVO has been featured in mags such as Jap Perfomance and Fast and Modified. Also, some of you may have seen it at SIDC tracdays. Thumbs up. Away out to clean and wax these wheels - 5 months in the garage beside my "pool" has not done them much good - not quite to the standards of the Astra man causing so much debate in off topic! Brian.
frank c Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Fitted these tyres to mine a few weeks ago , felt weird for the first few 100 miles but soon came good. Not a bad price too.. £62 from tyre traders..
wrxmania Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 £62 a tyre - what size? And are they T1-S's or R's? I have T1-R's on the car now and they are great.
frank c Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Brian, I got T1R's 215/40/17. The price on the website went up and down a little , then i got 4 delivered to the house within 2 days. £268 if i remember right.
wrxmania Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 Good price but then still need to add fitting. I'll remember the site. They can do 4 T1-R's fitted for £310 [] Or mobile to your house for £322.
frank c Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Can't remember how i came across the site but i'll definately look again next time round. Lucky for me , my mate fitted them []
wrxmania Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 That's what I need - buy myself a tyre fitting machine - then I can ruin my own rims lol []
frank c Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 LOL.. The site never had the biggest of choices at the time but they had what i was looking for.
