Having Trouble Finding Tyres!?!?!

[Jimlad]

I'm looking for a 245/50/16 as one of the tyres on the Supra is illegally bald. Fair enough it wasn't as bad as what I was driving the mr2 with, but hey... I don't want to get stopped and fined etc, etc.

Having loads of trouble finding a tyre this size. My local garage (who are usually top notch), can only get a Nankang in that size. Another local place can get a federal in that size (average tyre, had them on the mr2 and were fine), but their supplier are out of stock!!!

I don't want to spend £200!! which is what I was quoted for one tyre from somewhere (can't remember the make).

Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks!!!

PS : It's supposed to say finding ... not finsing tyres!! lmao ....

Did you see the link I sent you last night for the Avon zz's?

2 tyres for just over £100

[Jimlad]

what about NANKANG EX500's ? ... I know Nankang have a bad name, but it's only one tyre I'm after and it is the summer!?!.... ?.. lol.

Seriously tho.. on tight budget now after getting the supra!!

Rico ... yeah, saw the link

They are the one's I had on the '2, pretty crap tbh.

The one's on my Corrado are nankang's but the range toppers and so far they seem pretty good, very sticky

Nankang ns-2's are ones I have

[Jimlad]

well the tyre place along the road can get federals cheap as (what was on the mr2), but none in stock.

Need a rear tyre pronto.

[ricomr2]

I'd go for that then, anything's better than the one it!

Plus they were ok on the '2, just be carefull in the wet!!

Need to update you're sig!

Think we can do Kumho's for about 51 quid.. we are in fife though near dunfermline

cfc1 looks like a bargain - Blackcircles have 3 - fitted, balance, disposal =

Kumho Ecsta 712 £96.79

Cooper Zeon 2XS £111.86

Cooper Lifeliner SLE Sport W £124.09

Just checked again.. the tyres at £51 were Kumho KH18's and were what is known in the trade as De-Mounts (tyres that were fitted to rims for a factory order and were surplus to requirements and returned to the manufacturer) these are now sold out.. the next cheapest is Kumho 712 @ £79
