I think i might have found a slight problem though.
I dont think the Tyres on ebay come with valves. Am i right in thinking you need new valves when you fit new tyres.
If not i dont think i want to spend £244 on toyos when i can get a set of Khumo for £156

You don't have to..... They are only £1.50 each anyway

Khumo's are good and at £156 - bloody good value
I paid £96 for a pair (fitted balanced - new tyre valves etc) - to quote DubPolo - "mates rate" maybe he not such a mate!!!!

The cheapest price I got was £66 per tyre! Asked the guys at awesome and they said £43 is very good and they couldn't get anywhere near that price unless they bought loads! Go for the ones on ebay! They are a good price!

Where can i get hold of the new valves from?
As soon as i know this i'll place my money in the hands of paypal.
Hopefully by the summer i'll be lowered aswell, so my car will handle like its on rails.

Alright, i didn't know that
I just need to save up some pennies for some coilovers. The 40k service takes priority over coilovers though.
