Goodfellows in Cockermouth are cheap for Toyos if thats what you're after. Try them for anything else. They usually get them in a day or two. They also take good care of your wheels unlike some places.

I reckon that they are! Good all round performance, dry and wet, and they last reasonably well too.
Just noticed you're in Penrith. Try Denton tyres in Carlisle, Dave W got a full set for about £320 last week.

Just changed my Goodyear F1's after 25,000 mls !!!!!, still 3ml left on each tyre, and I do give it beans. Gate's in Carlisle would do them for £320 including tracking. Went to Dentons in Carlisle who put Toyo's on for £280 for 4, all in. Must admit the F1's felt better but not to say the TOYO's are bad, just not as much 'feel' hard to say really, still excellent value what!!!!. They are doing F1's for £80 each, Toyo's for £70, Pirreli Zeros for £75.

Hey I got 10k from the last set, what's wrong with that....

Although I think these ones may not last that long as I'm starting to enjoy sliding into/out of roundabouts I do so love all these slippy roads...

Oh and I've just worked out my car is on its 6th set of tyres
