Toyo have pissed a lot of customers off lately with their price hike - i'm sure many will now go elsewhere!

The CSL deserves some nice Cup tyres anyway...

Best quote I got from camskills (two weeks ago) for the TOYO R888 in 265/35/18 was £228 inc. VAT each and FREE delivery (if bought in pairs of two)... £912 for a set of four all inc. VAT & delivery. The most expensive TD tyres I have been quoted for so far are the Yokohama A048 @ £327 each ( £1308 !!! for a set of four) and Dunlop DZ03 G @ £323 each inc VAT + delivery

well i just got her back 2k + vat + fitting brand new entire diff and casing its comes as a sealed unit, sorry to clarify i have warrenty i was just moaning if I didnt i would be REALLY moaning

re toyos that quote was camskill this week I think they may have just gone up literally you might wanna try again ? shame i fancied trying a set as ok there a tadge slower and less inconsistent but there meant to heat up quicker and be better in the wet. I tried costco for cups think they were about 1250-1300 and until I explained which car I had he was saying he could only fit them track side ???? The local place I got them last time for 1050 also couldnt get near and recon prices on cups were going up soon anyway ? BMW wanted 1700 for a set btw
