I will PM him now. Im not too concerned over price as work pays for my tyres, just want to make sure im getting good rubber for the price. In saying that if I save them a few bucks maybe they will be less concerned when I hit them up for new brake pads and a set of new front discs...

I thought the Advan was top of the rangeyeh if you have a set of dedicated track rims there are some pretty sweet racing tyres around that I would love to try, prob a bit soft for reg road use but would be fun on the circuit. Think I might start saving.Keith, I assume you have 18's if your running R1R's? Would love a set of those but they dont come in 19... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked, but didn't go all the way but it looks like they may only ship to US or Canada? Anyway, I've sent them an email to ask about it as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just email one of the reps directly.They will give you the exact total and freight costs in USD.The only hassle is I had to pay via international money transfer at my local bank when you get their payment details as they dont take credit card.
