E30less again.
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
+1 they've got a few on there, cheapest is £49 then they go up from therehennared323i wrote:http://www.camskill.co.uk/

4 tyres fully fitted for £215 quid. Not sure what they are like but
4 x Khumos for £274?
or
4 x Toyo Proxies are only £284.

I've been bitten before buying cheap tyres, and after the MOT the touring needed a new set of 205/55/15.
My local guy suggested these, and despite my concerns he said to try them. Fitted was about £200 for the full set.
I cant praise them enough. Lower noise than the avons that were on before, the car just covered 1200 miles in the last three weeks, in the snow/ice/slush and rain and never missed a step.
Seriously, for a budget set of tyres, I am converted and wont buy a branded tyre for the E30 again.
The Accellera brand also stood up well in recent reviews, cant remember where but I will see if I can find it.

tell ya what- i had a spare set of wheels with my range rover with a set of virtualy brand new accelera on, and pirelli scorpions on the car, they lasted me over a year, but £180 a corner, the accelera are £80 a corner, i put them on, and they feel no different, were decent in the snow no issues, icey slush no issues, heavy rain no issues, good tyres !bigwinn wrote:

I had near new on the front of my E34 touring and they have worn down to 2mm in around 8 months, 5000 miles max, shite in the wet too!Simon13 wrote:accelleras never wear out! my missus had them on the back of her Z3 for over 20,000 miles!
tbh i wouldnt concider them for an e30, but on a diesel range rover they are ok concidering £400 cheaper than a set of pirelli, nice deep tred aswelljonny323i wrote:sorry to throw a spanner in the accelera works i had them on my touring and i agree they last forever but i wasnt impressed with the grip and it they were only fitted on a 316i tourer

To be totaly honest I'm not too bothered on what sorta mileage I'm going to get out the tyres as the cars never going to be on the road,prob just a few mile each summer(that's the plan)...
Going to ring around tomorrow an see what I can come up with..
Will let you all know!!

probably too late to be of any use but i just got 4 toyo proxes 205 55 15 from blackcircle for £320 all in, delivered to & fitted/balanced at local garage. think they have agents all over.. fantastic tyres at any price, well worth £80 each! been using them on my e30s for many years.
