I took my alloys to get media-blasted, so took the old tyres off. Toyo Proxes but in a lame size (195/50R15), and two of them were properly worn on the inside edges. Wheel repairer warned me not to refit them.

So I did a bit of googling, and found a firm selling off NEW Proxes, 205/55R15, for sixty quid a corner...

KERCHING!

Now since the car is registered to my company, they're tax deductable. And then some pauper paid me 60 quid for the old set, which were 5 years old at that point.

So all in, four brand new Toyos for 130 quid :D

Company over here - think shipping to the UK might ruin the discount quite a bit :D

However, Oponeo is a Polish company who also sell in the UK, and they have these on their Polish site for a very low price - 63 quid each, so you might be able to get them in the UK for the same price.

Nice Bargain and £63 a corner for proxies is a good price as well.

Two out of last three sets of tyres I bought came from Oponeo. Only took about three days to come from Poland.

I little while back demon tweaks was doing these for about £62 a corner, but you then need to factor in the cost of getting them fitted.

The set I ordered from them never turned up, 4 weeks later I finally got a refund and went back to using camskill.

I won't bother trying again.
cheers,
