   Right going on from previous thread there seems to be alot of interest in this.
   
   It wont be until after xmas/ny, so people have time to put money by and not have excuses.
   
   Will contact supplyers to see what we can get depending upon number of people wanting them.
   
   Names on list.

    price will be dependant upon number usually.
    
    hence list here of people who will want some in the NY.
    
    means if they save up the moneys they need for RRP any saving is a bonus.

    Danny what 14s do you think I shoud use? I am basically standard ride height. The 185 profile is closest to the standard Saxo 14 inch fitment but the 205 is a few mm taller, but obviously wider.
    
    EDITED I changed my choices on the list slightly if thats ok. Would like to try a set of 15s and 14s

    888s are Proxes.
    
    Provide much better grip in the dry, although in the wet its a different case apparently, with them not having many grooves to displace water.

    colin, your choices are fine..
    
    the r888 are very good in the wet providing you get heat into them. they dont however like standing water.

    no, but they do a 185/60/14.
    
    these are high end performance track day tyres. they will easily out perform sporty road tyres on track. these will proabaly make you quicker round a lap than 20-30bhp (depending on variables.)

    that is a VERY VERY good price....^^^^but its around £241 including delivery.
    
    believe it or not the COST price is around £210 for tyre companys to buy from toyo.
    so theyt must sell lots to do them that price.
    
    ill get all the info and get it to work tomorow and see i we can sort some delivered prices up.

    i actually found them shit in the wet slight rain and may of just been no heat in them, but after 20 mins on track, all tyres were still cold, not even the slightest bit of heat, certainly wont bother going out in the rain with them again
