is there any clear cut way of telling what tyres have rim protection and which ones do not...? or do you just need to ask this before purchasing? Anything in any of the advertising to let you know, from what i have looked at i cant find anything

If you ask the supplier should be able to tell you.
thanks for the heads up guys, these are some great tyres and at that price you cant go wrong. I've just ordered some.
looks good mate , are they more anthracite than grey?
are you using spacers?
can you get a side on view so can see how far they stick out.
cheers.

I really still rate the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A,s that came with it new. On 12k now and the fronts still have 4mm and the backs 6mm. Considering the spec i,m running they grip well ,wet or dry and last forever. Just picked up a set for £185 delivered to my door so i,ll be sticking to these for now.
No spacers, but the front clearance is, erm, snug, I think that the colour is a grey area,(sorry,that's a terrible pun) they stick out about the same as the Catalunyas did, haven't driven it yet, due to the flu
Blade, where did you get the Bridgestones from, and is that price for 4 tyres??

Stupid Question
Okay so my new tyres arrived a few minutes ago and before I get on the phone to camskill, I thought I'd make sure I'm not being dense.
The tyres tell you which side goes on the inside, but when you've done that shouldn't they be symmetrical when placed next to each other?
What I mean by that is if you order two tyres, shouldn't they have different moulds?
Here is a pic of what's been delivered, I would say that the one on the right hand side in the pic is okay for the nearside front (if you imagine the car is facing you), but I believe I need to swap one for an offside tyre?
So should I ring them or are they all meant to have the same mould?

Okay, sorry guys, I've answered my own question with some googling.
I still think it looks weird. I was thinking the offside one would channel water the wrong direction...
Glad I didn't ring up Camskill lol

Just gone for 2 Falken 452's
Was gonna buy the Sessnas but these are about 25 pound cheaper per tyre and are recommended on here also.
I was gonna buy 2 a few days ago, gutted I never now as my left front tyre has puntchured and is unrepairable.
So here I am driving round on the spare glad its the weekend where I wont need do much driving.
I will have to do 40 miles on Monday maybe Tuesday under 50mph should I be ok?
How quick do camskill deliver ordered about a hour ago.

They'll be there next working day, but since you ordered after close of play Friday it might be Tuesday. Either way they'll defo be there Tuesday. From what I've seen their service is second to none.
Had these on a while now and here is my opinion - dont buy them. Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics are better.
Comparing the two -
Goodyears make less noise
Goodyears give more grip
Goodyears give better traction
Goodyears smoke less
Goodyears dont stop your car from giving a proper reading on a rolling road
It has not been possible to compare the wear on both so far, but to be honest, I dont care if the Goodyears wear twice as quick - next time I will replace these Vredsteins with the F1 Assys again as they are definitely superior.

as soon as the pirellis wear out mine will be replaced with the Goodyears asymetricals i've had them on most cars in the past and whislt they might be less grippy in the dry they are brilliant in the wet and thats more important to me.
I think you have the option of delivered to one of the garages from their approved list or have them delivered to your house and then its up to you to find a place to fit them.
blade where did you get your bridgestone re050a for that price, I too want to try to stick to them but i cant find them anywhere near that price???
