Best place to buy high performace tyres? - FirebirdPhil - 16-09-2017
The Porsche needs another set of rear tyres - anyone know a good place to buy high performance rubber without emptying to bank???????
[SIZE="5"]
225 - 40 - ZR 17 N2[/SIZE]'s??
The N2 is the tyre compound and apparently the insurance company can get "difficult" if the wrong compound is used.........
The last set was Conti Sport 2's and lasted ohhhh 6-7K of the wife's driving - which is not at all hard, the car has indeed been to WIM - the front suspension was out and rear camber was also set wrong....
This could have a "Jap" use as a Skyline owner I know uses the above rubber on his car as it is sooooooooooooooo sticky!!

camskill.co.uk mate, I got my tyres for the lex from there then paid a garage £12.50 a tyre to fit and balance them

Camskill for me too, they seem to be considerably cheaper than most, cost £10 each to have my tyres fitted locally.

I would agree with Camskill and the service they have provided me in the past has been superb.
Highly recommended!

yep i've put some Falken FK452's on mine at the recommendation of toxo and have to say i'm extremely impressed, I would rate the higher than Goodyear Eagle F1's

DJ Wozza Have you called Tony @ WIM as their prices are pretty good (Blackboots is WIM's sister company) ?
His prices were far higher than Camskill.
However we sold the Boxter without changing the tyres, as all 4 needed doing, then the exhaust started to blow, MOT time, tax was almost out also, so by returning the Boxter we nearly paid for the MR2 with saved bills:tongue_smilie:.

No I didn't to be honest as we decided to try and get the tyres to last just 1 more month then it was gone!!
