Hi,

I need 2 new tyres and I want to stick woth the Eagle F1's, however I can't find many places that sell them. Any suggestions on companies (and rough prices) would be great

mytyres dont stock f1's

They have Eagle F1 GSD-2 (205/45 R16 83W runout) at Â£97.20 and GSD-3 (205/45 R16 83W) Â£103.20 - what are they then? Is one of those the same as the Pug tyres?

Yes, it is. I think they now use the GSD-3 which has a 'lip' to protect the wheel rim.

i got 2 fitted 2 weeks ago. Â£93 each from a local tyre place. kwik fit quoted me Â£124 back in january.

try the smaller local places, they will probably be able to get them next day and should be reasonable with prices normally.

yep listen to derek, i got one for only Â£85 fitted at the local tyre place, beat all the others easily some wanted Â£120 not fitted

prices from local places can change daily. i got quoted back in january at Â£83 and they told me then they can't guarantee the price as i wasn't buying them at the time.

when i phoned up, same as last time he took my number to call me back. he phoned his wholesalers (he uses 5) and got the best price.

still wasn't complaining at Â£93 as far cheaper than cowboys like kwik fit.

I can heartily recommend the Toyo Proxes T1-S as a suitable (and cheaper) alternative. On the third set on the Scoob (need a new pair of fronts soon) and will replace the Eagles on the Pug with T1-Ss when they're worn out.

Also had a set of Toyo 330s on wifey's previous 'motor' (Saxo).
