€180 including shipping. The ones on the alloys when i got them have seen better days and found a bloody big nail in one of them today when doing the suspension so time for a change.

What exactly are they? I need two new tryes for the rear. Was going to stick to the old reliable Toyo Proxes but am thinking of making a change.

They are Marangoni zeta linea from camskills.
I was going to get proxes as well but they don't have any in stock till 20th may and i need em before that.
Got a couple of good reviews on mx5nutz.
Heres the link to my size

Hi Ash,
Hope your suspension install went well and will be a life long fit .......
Let me know what you think of the new suspension setup once you get used to it.
Im raging I cant make the Waterford run , Perhaps I can do a mini run sometime with you??
Those tyres look fab a great value too. Let us know what it costs you to get them fitted etc etc.
Cheers John.
PS thks for the Eibachs...but at some stage I think it will be AGX adjusts and trim springs......

Cheers john, yeah got on ok with the suspension, 3 of them are in now rain stopped me from completing them.
I will be sure to let you know how i get on with em, i know it will settle but the car sits way higher now (which for anyone who doesn't know of all my troubles is a good thing)
Pretty gutted you can't make the run to mate, i reckon that i will organize another one down here before the year is out but if you want to arrange to come down in the mean time then i'm sure dave, stephen & myself (at least) will be up for a spin.
Like i said had some good comments about them. Lets hope that they are good as they look!!
Its going to cost me €7.50 a corner to get em fitted at the local tyre place (2.50 of that is a disposal charge)
If i was doing the suspension again and after being in steves car in galway i would go for the kyb non adjustable ones and std springs and invest in some good poly bushes. Just my 2cents worth.

Man they look like a serious piece of tyre and for that price you can't go wrong
and 7.50 a tyre fitted is pretty good

Whoah... great looking tyre (if tyres can be good looking.. ?)
Oh.. so you thought the suspension in mine was good? Am pretty happy with it myself, but good to hear another opinion on it, now if I could only lower it an inch or so... with the option to reraise it .. maybe I need airbags

Hey Ash, how did you get on with those tyres? What's the verdict? Fun in the frost
... or are you spending all your time these days holding hands on the sofa watching Meg Ryan movies
No more Mk1, now driving an '08 Mk3. Still fun!

I really like them, good levels of grip in them. but as for the frost, wasn't out in them much due to the fact i drive the boring mobile to work every day. No meg ryan movies here!!!
