F1s are £100 each delievered form camskill.co.uk even cheaper elsewhere fitting included but I know that is not that cheap.
As I say I will get T1s when my Eagles are dead as they are pain the get quickly as not many tyre places stock them Goodyear have either new version or just cutting down maybe?

Where you getting the plates, nearest suppliers to me are all 60 miles away, Erith, Sidcup or Slough.

Come to the National meet it is a massive trek for us Southerners but worth it!

getting the plates from near wher ei work in Luton, but i live in the lovely chiltern hills! hahaha. so i pop in to the shop at lunch time to have a nose about, and saw that they did the plates, just by chance!

Well worth getting a set, although delivery time can be a bit slow.

Im not about for the national meet, think im on holiday. The meets near me are often up near milton keynes (hour away +) or south london. However i used to live in southampton so may attend one of them or visit my friends near brighton and attend the sussex one?

Where have you seen F1 for cheaper than 100 quid with fitting? im intrigued!

try falken ZE912's - they get a better write up than Toyo's

we had them on our A3 S Line and they were excellent for money.

ah i see I guess i am lucky there are a few us around or near Sussex that meet shame you can't make the national meet though. I can't remember but I needed a tyre last week due to the stupid pot hole bent wheel saga and tried all the tyre websites (while at work!) etyres black circles camskill and mytyres think a couple more like quick fit as well. They were little bit cheaper but not much tbh anf some sites didn't even have F1s at all rubbish!

Think someone on this thread posted a price for F1s fitted earlier. But you seem to have decided now anyway.

Also to consider are the vredestien ultrac sessantas i have them fitted now, think they were £75 a corner. a good tyre can cope in the dry with all the power but wheel spin in 3rd in the wet when you give it some and the pzeros before them were s**t, never had t1-r but will be going for the f1 assymetrics next, the gsd3s are the old ones now so might be hard to get the right fitment. hope this helps

Toyo T1R's just bought my 1st set of non dealer tyres and I went for these.
Decreased road noise. Increased grip in the Dry.
I couldnt tell you about the wet as I dont ever drive fast in the wet but they dont feel an different at standard speed!
