r88r tyres -deal?

Postby greenwoo » Tue Aug 08, 2017 4:29 pm

just in case anyone is after some new boots...i'm in discussions with a supplier, to me the price seems reasonable at £345 a set of 195/50/15......may be able to sneak a few more quid off if anyone is about to buy a set?

oh and if you know of somewhere that's cheaper than that, shout out !

I've got the front covered for now as I'll have two fairly new rears to use ( see how it handles with the offset , just after 2 new rears at the above size

I got mine from Adams & page in High Wycombe (long way from you I know) R888R - 185/65/14 - £300 for a set of four FITTED. I like Adams & Page, it's not often you get asked "what pressure would you like sir?" & "what torque do you want on the wheel nuts sir?"

They seem noticeably better that & treble 8s I had before.

I am after 2 335/30 18 which I can only find in the USA so far and 2 245/40 18 and Demon Tweets have them for £198 each.

If they cannot get the big ones I will make sure I can get them from the USA before committing to R888R. (Silverstone has proved more expensive than I thought :lol: :lol: )

I'd be interested if they come in 13"
2 of 185/60r13
2 of 205/60r13

the other children on tour said that the R888r's were more progressive than the R888's
so wouldnt mind tying some, currently on old A021's

235/50/15 2= £300
245/40/18 = £182.50 per tyre
335/30/18 = £270 per tyre
inc vat & delivery, for you to get fitted ( at yr cost ).
