Jim_1979 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm looking for a 245/50/16 as one of the tyres on the Supra is illegally bald. Having loads of trouble finding a tyre this size. My local garage (who are usually top notch), can only get a Nankang in that size. Another local place can get a federal in that size (average tyre, had them on the mr2 and were fine), but their supplier are out of stock!!! I don't want to spend £200!! which is what I was quoted for one tyre from somewhere (can't remember the make). Anyone got any ideas??? Thanks!!!

Ian W Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 If you order from Camskill it's damn fast delivery as well mate. just to add, there may be a small surcharge for delivery if you only order the one tyre but they'll advise you of that if you order anyway. they're not too far from you either, just in Cumbria mate so you're probably looking next day delivery from them. Where in the borders are you? I grew up around Langholm and Hawick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 mytyres quoted me a 5-7day delivery time...they turned up in 3! and at £154 for 4 premium brand tyres for a Fiesta the prices were good too. Try Ibrar too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_1979 Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 what about NANKANG EX500's ? ... I know Nankang have a bad name, but it's only one tyre I'm after and it is the summer!?!.... ?.. lol. Seriously tho.. on tight budget now after getting the supra!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 i'd sooner go with the Kumho's mate than Nankang. What kind of tyre is it on there already as ideally you don't want two different makes on one axle, especially if there is a difference in quality / wear.
