No probs, gave you a good excuse to gratuitously mention your new rims though eh!
aren't LCR tyres 225/40/18?
mine are
that was a deliberate mistake to see if any one was paying attention
actually, brian from Camskill says this:
All low profile tyres come with rim protection
Kindest regards
Brian
i'll edit my post incase anyone uses those dimensions to order the wrong size
mine arrived today... good service from camskill, great price and quick delivery
their delivery company even text me this morning to ask if i wanted them delivered today tomorrow or monday!

I put a pair of Falken 452 tyres on this week. Certainly as good as the Toyo T1Rs they replaced. 
had mine fitted on wednesday at lunchtime
i also got a text from courier asking if another day was more suitable - brilliant service and another reason to use camskill.
have i noticed a difference, no i don't think so, but they do seem to be more solid that the continental that were removed and a little more road noise but nothing to worry about.
as for grip etc, i wouldn't have a scooby, and nope i don't need to test too much

Is anyone thinking about trying the new Falken ZE912 asymmetrical tyres that have just been released? See link below.

Nope not heard of them until saw on here. Just ordered a couple of Falken 452's for £160 incl fitting - not bad and much cheaper than the Eagle F1's i was thinking of getting.
That link shows the Falkens at £57 each! now that is a great price.

hmmmm good point, I always forget about delivery. Then of course there is the fitting on top....
Calling round all the garages it is amazing how much the same tyre can vary in price. Certainly worth ringing round if not buying off the net. I called one garage and their budget tyres started at £98 each. I wont even say what they quoted me for some Eagle F1A's!!

Just thought i'd report back on the Falken 452's
They apparently had rim protection, but my hankook ventus sport tyres on the back definatley have rim protection, as the rubber juts out near the rim, however, the 452's from camskill dont have this.
they were £60 per corner delivered, so i wasn't expecting much, however, i'd been letting them bed in for a few days and finally decided to give them a test yesterday evening.
All i can say is WOW
I was so impressed, for the price you cant go wrong, i had come from a pair of marshalls that the garage told me were "really good" however, they were more like wet bin bags.
I did notice the rears were starting to give way at about 70mph on hard corners (private road of course), so i think i'll need to get some 452's on the back now.
I dont usually drive like a joy rider, but last night was fun

Yeah, usually recommended to stick the new tyres on the rear as a loose backend is a lot harder to control.
I'm getting all four corners done next week - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics £110 fully fitted at Wheels-In-Motion (price matched with mytyres website). Should be a big improvement over the Perilli's...

Yeah I had Michelin PS2's before the 452's and they had a definite rim protection lip on them whereas the 452's have a token gesture of a lip, not really proper rim protection imo.
My uncle has a large car garage and tyre garage next door
He is venturing out into the online tyre market.
The website will be online in a few months, i've managed to wangle a deal for forum members
basically, he's going to try and beat any price on the net, he'll fit them free if your pop in (cardiff)
he can beat the 452's price, and is looking into the others.
......wish he bloody told me before i ordered mine from camskill!

My Garage says they've stopped making 452s!
I went to my dealer to get some falken 452s yesterday, as previously planned a few days earlier.
I get there and the keen young kiddy gets on to it, i did some shopping and came returned to the young fitter saying 'we didn't have the 452 as they stopped making them, so i fitted 512s instead!!' what a horror! the 512s are shite!
Any way while he was sorting out the tyres, the manager tells me Falken have stopped that particular model and some new ones of the same type will be out soon...he did not know what they were called?
Any way he had the last set of 452s left at another garage and got them in for today. They're good tyres so far

I've just had 2 Falken 452's put on the rear wheels on my Supra. Fantastic tyres for the money, bearing in mind they are £70 cheaper PER tyre for my car, than the Toyo T1-R's!

I got 4 for mine the other day. Was hoping for two, but Micheldever said the other two were shot
At least when it goes up for sale it will have 4 x new tyres and 80k service. Plus the 5 x LC wheels
Pabs how is the new motor, gone through a set of tyres already what size are they on the Supra?
