Scottish Elises

I'm using OE tyre sizes, which I think (going by the surprise on Sanjoys face) is unusual. I'm just about to order a new set of Toyo's for the front, what size do you guys recommended?

cheers

i was going to get neovas at some point in the not too distant. they are 195-50-15 F, and 225-45-16 R. general consensus is go for the wider ones on the front(i.e. 195), although quite a few people have said the toyos are a bit woolley for the first 1000miles. bridgestones possibly??
my 2c anyway...

Thay are pants for about 1000 miles then either, you get used to them or they get better, I cant be sure.

By a set of Maxsports ya wimp..... it doesnt rain that much

my folks live in the north west highlands, and it rains a lot up there. and it snows a lot too

Wot Tom said. I've just ordered a set of T1Rs in those sizes from that Collins chap in Glasgow, should be quite nice compared to my worn out P-Zeros! Am excited.

Is Tim Stevens on Seloc still selling tyres?

He was cheap as chips, £33 each for fronts!

what tyres? toyos?

Yea, R's or S's. That was about 8 months ago mind. Fast delivery (by Toyo themselves too).

I've emailed him to see if he can still get em.

Tim Stevens is a top chap, ordered mine on a wed at 3pm the arrived at 10am the next day! He didn't even wait for me to post the cheque! (I did obviouly!)

£250 for a full set. Fitting was £7/corner locally.
