read on another thread...
£87 each and £2.45 delivery per tyre to the UK

edit, that was for 16's... so im guessing's the 15's will be quite a bit cheaper,
just checked site, says ring for prices

"PROMISE: We will guarantee to beat any online delivered price"

that sounds good too,

see if you want directional tyres and wanted 2, i take it they would give you left and right ones and not something random?

888s are ok, very soft though so you won't get many miles. The dunlops are fairly decent, but I personally rate the A048s, got loads of mileage out of them and probably a better all rounded than the Toyo.

Not really meant for everyday driving though Nik, wouldn't want to be caught short on a motorway in downpour with loads of standing water with slicks on

You would be surprised. I ran semis on my Evo for a year (r888 and a048s) without any problems - both were fairly decent in wet weather, and to be honest, standing water wasn't really any more of a problem than normal tyres.

ok so if you have a tyre on the right with the arrows pointing forward and put it on the left hand side the arrows will be pointing backwards won't they.

I tried both, thought both sets wore pretty quick compared to the Yokos, maybe I just drove harder with the Toyos who knows
