richbk Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 hi folks just got the car back from new discs / pads / braided hoses and battery fitting and have managed to pick up a metal staple in left rear - looks like its to close to edge fro repair - approx 4 cm from inside edge, so need to get a new tyre - its done all of 500 miles, so thankfully only need 1 as other side is only lightly rubbed in and no track days done on them. demon tweaks are quoting £175 per tyre, cam skill who i usually get them from don't seem to have them listed at present so looked at the below, which seems cheap...or am i missing something??\\ any thoughts as ever gratefully received http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110&Cookie=tyrecomp&details=Ordern&typ=R-155852&ranzahl=4&nichtweiter=1&pk_campaign=tyrecomp&wt_ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Egoogle%2Eco%2Euk%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%3D%26esrc%3Ds%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D9%26ved%3D0CGcQFjAI%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww%2Emytyres%2Eco%2Euk%252Fcgi%2Dbin%252Fp%2Epl%253FID%253Dtyrecomp%2526typ%253DR%2D155852%2526Country%253DUK%26ei%3Dq4IcU6zdGIyGhQeHyoHoBw%26usg%3DAFQjCNEx4URW%5F0WeV3IaUrpXtN2klDo9KQ%26bvm%3Dbv%2E62578216%2Cd%2EZG4&ID=tyrecomp&wt_t=1394377827000 richbk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 A few of the evo boys have bought from mytytes and had no problems at all... They too were concerned at being £70 a comer cheaper, I've just done a search and haven't found any problems..they turned up ok and all were happy...

richbk Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Cheers scatty, Am going to see if a repair is viable and safe and if not as I suspect I'll order and feedback results Thx Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatty Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think it's a foreign company and the "mytyres" is the british arm of it... You must be getting them from some small warehouse in the Ukraine... (I might have made that up).... http://www.reifendirekt.de/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?details=Ordern&cart_id=11902767.100.17228&typ=D-116087&ranzahl=4&Breite=255&Herst=Goodyear&Quer=40&Felge=19&Speed=W&weiter=0&kategorie=6&Ang_pro_Seite=15&Transport=P&dsco=100&sowigan=So Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russelld Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Can't see any mention of the compound, I think there are two compounds SG & GG very soft & soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbk Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 They had 2 speed ratings, so I matched with what I had on, 94w I think. But didn't see a compound ?? I'll check tomorrow, £50 cheaper ...... Theres always a catch, hope I don't need to test the 30 day refund policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yep, definitely 2 compounds for 888s. Fingers crossed you get what you need ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbk Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well some progress . My tyre has reached naufham in Germany. Hope it's coming air freight the rest of the way or my march road tax will be wasted !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbk Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 well i think a top result, cost and service wise if your not in a next day / urgent situation. tyre made it from germany to stoke on trent via birmingham in 22 hours and is now on my car. compound is correct GG, as others on car so I'm a happy customer. i have spent the saved cash on a new filler cap surround, new decals and some stone guards. will post a couple of pics of all the pre summer TLC soon richbk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
