Tyre recommendation part ii.......

Event Mobile Tyres have always been excellent for me. I'd have thought they would be able to get the sizes you need.

Cheers Oli, just checking out that site....

Seems I can get the Toyo T1's on the front but not on the rear, and no mention at all of SO2s

Looks like I can get Falken's 912's for both front and rear though ... seems like that's my only choice.
What's the grip like in the wet?

Just wondering, do you guys think I have a different wheel sizes than the rest of you for some reason?

front
205 55 15
back
215 60 15

Actually (and topically), I had an eMail in my inbox today with some voucher codes for Black Circles, leading to this website:

http://www.voucherfinder.co.uk/discount/black-circles/

If you click on any of the links in black/red then you get to the blackcircles site, with discounts. Whether the discounts are real or not is a bit unclear, but it may save you a quid or two.

Just checked my car - the sizes are as follows:

205-55-16 Front
225-50-16 Rear

Which are, I think, standard for an S2.

We need to know for certain what your wheel sizes are, if you have 16 in rims then 205/55/16 front are 225/50/16 rear are the standard fit. You can get 912's, 452's , T1-R's , Kumho KU31's, Rainsport 2's etc in both those sizes, so plenty of choice
for example, www. tyretraders.com will do a full set of Falken 452's (2 x205's and 2 x225's) for around £280 inc fitting at your local fitters.

If running 15in rims then its a bit different. Prior to fitting 16in to my 'S' I had standard 15in teles. Rather than going with different front/rear dimensions, I followed the handbook and had 4 x 195 (or 185 -cant remember ! )/65/15 Dunlop SP Fast Response and they cost arund £250 inc fitting. They look a bit 'balloon' like but were massively superior to the contis they replaced. (In my view)
