Does anyone know of any tyre deals at the moment need a pair of 225/40/18 for my LCR.
Looked at event-tyres and the Falken ZE912's are £150 a pair fitted which I think is a good price, was thinking of the FK452's but they aren't XL so can't put on the LCR.

camskill doing good prices on the 452's and they are XL, just had them fitted to my LCR, great tyres, only had them for a few hundred miles but very happy with them in the wet so far :)

I have two ZE912's on the back of mine, also had them on my previous cars. Very impressed with them and they were £154 fitted on my LCR at a local garage so reasonably cheap!

Are you sure Event-tyres rate the 912's as XL but not the 452's?

Yeah 452's are XL and if you look the load index of 92 is the same on both falken tyres where as the Toyo's are only 88.

It doesn't say XL in the tyre size but it does say extra load on the tyre.

Do you think it's worth paying the extra £6 per tyre for the's over the 912's? both get good reviews.
