Camskill have the very grippy Toyo T1R on offer at the moment for £67.70 delivered to your door. NS2's are OK, but not as good as the Toyo's.

i fitted a set of Pirelli P-zeros wasnt's the cheapest at £120 fitted with the same tyre size as yourself,

but cornering is fantastic

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking to buy 4 x 205:45:517 tyres soon. I'm driving a Premium Blue running on Pirelli Pzero Asimmetricos. I'll probably go for a deal at my local Kwik-Fit who are offering a 25% discount, charging £429 all in for the 4 tyres. I was interested to read your post about the Toyo T1Rs at a delivered price of £67.70. Obviously, to relate this price to the fitted price I have from Kwik-Fit I looked around for a fitted price for the Toyos and I found a quote of £325.88 for 4 Toyos from Blackcircles. So are the 4 x Pirellis worth £103.12 (24%) more than the 4 Toyos? I drive conservatively so do I need the Pirellis? Mind you, my wife drives the thing more than I do and she's a bit loopy on the road.

In your situation Peter, I would probably opt for the Parada 2 from Camskill. You might be disappointed by the longevity of the Toyo's after making the Pirelli's last so long.

Like all good stories, there should be an ending and the ending to this story is a happy one.

I eventually contrived to buy 4 brand new Pirelli PZero Nero 205.45.17s from a Ford main agent in Essex just 14 miles down the road for an overall fitted price of £296.94 via an eBay Auction.
