I was steered away from the Goodyear F1's, as you've only got to look at a pot hole and they blister their sidewalls. A mate said he has bought them 3 times and never got anywhere near wearing them out, they had to be replaced.

Really? Correct loading etc?

Camskill only list conti sport3's for Mercedes...?

Toyo proxes T1R, used them for last 5 years and use them still on my ED30, 225/40/18, great in wet conditions and not too bad in snow and they last too.

Camskill quote £376 for set of 4 (Thats where I got my 225/40/18 from).

I think if you are in the market for a second set of wheels then finding some with tyres on already is a way of getting tyres for free (nearly). This is what i have done in the past and this time of year theres plenty about. This will get you past the dreaded Xmas period and then you can put your PS3's on in the spring  :smiley:

Bit more help perhaps than the last post :innocent:

Because searching the entire website is not useful? If this is how you boost your little ego, I feel sorry for you.

Appears that other forum users feel differently seeing the posts after yours :grin:
and my EGO is huge now after this post  :evilgrin:
