Hi,
New to this nyloc stuff, had my Lotus for around a year now and may go for full membership, was wondering if anyone had any good cost effective source of AO48 tyres? (rears in need of a change surprisingly!). Have spoken to Pure Lotus re a price, but want to get the best price I can.
Thanks

Thanks for that, are JCT generally competative?
Just had a quote online from Camskill Tyres for £153 each inc. VAT plus £2.45/tyre delivery which doesn't sound too bad, anyone got experience of them? Guess should be able to get fitting around £10 a wheel?

With NYLOC discount

- JCT600 were cheapest when I last had a set of AO48's fitted to t'Exige, earlier in the year

- think rears were £340 inc fitting, balancing, VAT.
Camskill's quote - is that for rears?

I am not surprised, 048s do not last much more than about 5/6k miles even without track days.
I fitted Toyo t1/r to my exige, (from Camskill) and they now have over 15k miles on them and not showing much wear.
They are nowhere near as good for the track though

Hi All,
Thanks for the feedback. The price from Camskill is for rears (225/45/17/90W), also just had Jay from Pure Lotus confirm he can't match the price, so looks like Camskill may get an order, certainly sounds a good price if anyone else interested.
Thanks Again
Andy
