Buying new tyres - Saxperience

raul0 · 28th October 2010, 22:52

Hi im going to buy 4 toyo proxes cf1s for my car after reading all the good reviews on here about them. I found them fully fitted on tyreshopper.co.uk for 184.40 which is the best price i can get them. Camskil do them for 40 each but without fitting so i think this is cheaper. I need advise on what happens as ive never done this before. I need my alloys swapped from my tyres now to the new ones will they do that and if so will it be extra cost. Also what happens i really dont know and need advise. Also there rated 2 stars out of 5 on there i dont understand why as theyve had such good reviews on here. Just need advise about the fitting centre and if theyl swap the alloys and also why there rated bad on there. Thanks

You answered your own question there mate

£184.40 fitted, so yes they will fit them to your alloys.

Camskil is dearer as 4 x 40 = 160. It will probrably cost about £40 to get the 4 tyres fitted and balanced as most places around me charge £10 a corner. You will be best checking with them though.

Imo the £184.40 fitted sounds like the best deal

ok thanks for your help mate 184 pound does sound like the best im going to get.

Just wonder why there rated low on there. People on here seem to love them.

Tyre ratings vary between people. Some people would love T1R's because they grip well etc, others will hate them because they wear too quickly.

It depends what they have been rated on. Performance or wear

yer ive heard that they wear quite quick but if i dont drive 2 harsly round corners i should get at least 10 to 15 thousand out of them. In general the cf1 or tr1 are good al round performance tyres arent they its just the wear from the soft wall sides tht lets them down ?

SAM-S44MDS- · 29th October 2010, 11:28

Ye they are good tyres but soft compound so wear quicky. People on here like them because they are rating on performance, people on the website might rate them low if they have worn quick etc

right mate thanks for all your help. I will get them as im looking more for performance. Wear isnt a major issue as i can just buy a new set when they wear down cause there not 2 expensive. Cheers
