No joy on the T1Rs on 235 or 245, may have to make a few phone calls and see if I can source any locally from a decent tyre garage near me.

Failing not finding any T1Rs im wondering about going for the Hanook V12 K110s, they seem to be drawing good reviews also ???
Www.mytyres.co.uk stock them in 245/40/17 - thats the size I use too. The have 3% off until april 14th (every little helps lol).

Just wanted to update everyone on this one :th:

After FINALLY getting round to ordering some new tyres and doing a good bit of sourcing what I was after. I found a great website called Openeo.

Seem to be the cheapest around on the elusive, Toyo Proxe T1-Rs

Ive put an order in for

x 2 215/40/17

and

x2 245/40/17

totalling no less than £305, including free delivery ! :yahoo:

To be fair cant believe how cheap they are, as I remember paying close on to £260 for my two rears (235/40/17) before !
" Roof OFF Grin ON " ... Nothing says Im having a Midlife Crisis better than a T-Bar ! lol :D

Stock 15's are a pain to get tyres for these days - not many left for the rear fitment. In fact, it seems the T1R is the only half decent option left - everything else is either horrific budget tyres, or track day tyres.

Although there's nothing wrong with my front yokos I would prefer them all to match ? Or am I going over the top ?

Looks good to me - 225/50R15 rear, 195/55R15 front.

Matching all round is better for sure, and you absolutely must match across axles.
