That is a good price for them. 8)
Well done Benchmark - ordered immediately! ;)
And within 2 days of delivery of the New 888's are on my car.
Only problem, I found a buckled alloy when changing them over!
Didn't see that extra cost coming!
Dammit, only just seen that post! They have gone up to £88 now, but that is still a decent price I believe?
One thing I was told though was to check the tyre dates on ones bought online as sometimes they are old stock and tyres have a kind of use by date on them. Can anyone tell me if this is true pls?
now £66....

I clicked and got £88, but then clicked viewed products and it showed 1 @ £88 and 1 @ £66. Clicked 'buy' and now have 4 at £66 = £264 in my cart. Anyone want them? Or try it yourself, see what happens. :)
Solved the problem. Turns out they have TWO different versions of the exact same tyre (same weight and speed rating the lot!) One is listed as a high performance version and yet it's the cheaper £66 ones! Weird?
They are identical in reference number so it's a bit confusing, but they have different wet weather and fuel efficiancy label ratings (tho the decibel/noise rating is the same). Tricky little system to use but if you search via the search criteria at the top of ther page (ie 195x50x15 then choose Toyo) you will see the two sets of 888 tyres, one has a small 'pyramid of balls' icons next to it, they are they high performance £66 ones!! Phew!!!!
They seem to have many of the exact same tyres and different prices on other tyres too. Very odd. They also have 888s at a higher speed rating which are more money if you have a very high top speed car.
Great find benchmark51 !!!!
Basically the correct link to the £66 Toyo R888s is this...

It seems their prices for these tyres change from day to day. Moral of the story, keep an eye on them daily and buy when price is hot, or miss out like I did!!!! >:(
