I had a full set of Toyos fitted at MotorSport Wheels recently 225 40 18 ZRs which came to £380 inc VAT & Fitting - so I guess with yours been 17" you can probably knock 10% off that. They've got TONNES of tires there so should have something suitable - they're just on the Coal Road off the ring road in Seacroft. Nice guys too.

Tires 4 less (armley i believe) is the other one banded about on here a bit but I believe you just buy the tyres and they don't fit them (or it costs a bit)

If you've got a Costco card they do Michelin's but to be honest they weren't that cheap £138 a pop for the size I was looking at.

Tires (sic) 4 Less in Leeds do a very capable Vredestein Ultrac for around £60-70 depending on size.

You have to collect and then arrange fitting yourself.

We don't have a main supplier, though several of us have used Motorsport Wheels in Seacroft http://www.mswuk.com and got a good deal. I got all four 17's changed to Toyo T1s proxes for £300 fitted. Not bad at all. They don't have a website to speak of so your best calling to see what they have in....

Unit 2, Victoria Park
Coal Road, Seacroft
Leeds LS14 2LB
Tel: 0113 218 8777

Camskill Tyres also do some reasonable deals..

The one's you're after would be about £65 each with £20 delivery to your door. You then have to find garage to fit them. You may be able to get 'Just Tyres' or somewhere like that to do each for £5.. So about £300 again.

(Just noticed we all posted at the same time )

As Sticky says, Tyres4Less in Armley do trade prices as long as you take them away for fitting. There is a guy in Holbeck called Capachino (correct wrong spelling ) who'll fit a set for a tenner. Alternatively, MSW at Seacroft as Al says.

Toyo's are a good competent tyre. OK in all situations, except a bit soft and thus wear quickly. Very comparable to Goodyear Eagle F1, but not quite as good. The Vredesteins that Sticky mentioned come very well recommended by Dazza, and will be my choice of replacement for my almost fahooked Toyo's very soon.

@scg What model Toyos where these please, that seems a really good price?
That would make it £1277.47 for a set of PFF7's and tyres, sound ok?
