225 - 40 - ZR 17 N2[/SIZE]'s??
The N2 is the tyre compound and apparently the insurance company can get "difficult" if the wrong compound is used.........
The last set was Conti Sport 2's and lasted ohhhh 6-7K of the wife's driving - which is not at all hard, the car has indeed been to WIM - the front suspension was out and rear camber was also set wrong....
This could have a "Jap" use as a Skyline owner I know uses the above rubber on his car as it is sooooooooooooooo sticky!!

Camskill for me too, they seem to be considerably cheaper than most, cost £10 each to have my tyres fitted locally.

DJ Wozza Have you called Tony @ WIM as their prices are pretty good (Blackboots is WIM's sister company) ?
His prices were far higher than Camskill.
However we sold the Boxter without changing the tyres, as all 4 needed doing, then the exhaust started to blow, MOT time, tax was almost out also, so by returning the Boxter we nearly paid for the MR2 with saved bills:tongue_smilie:.
