After getting the same quote over the phone from Costco I went in at lunch time but they refused to fit them. It was the same old we can't/won't fit non-run flat tyres on runflat rims. Did you have any problems mate?

Ive just called Costco in Chingford. I asked them to quote me for a set of PS2's in the following sizes for my CSL - 275/30/19 x2 and 245/35/19 x2 - with 20% discount the total for supply and fitting was £844 - which is pretty bloody good for such big boots!!! They are special order though but then i dont need them urgently. Ive got until sunday to order them. Good deal me thinks.

Good price, but you should get trade discount for rubber anyway shouldn't you?

Back on topic monkey boys!!! Just called my mate Baz at Elite Romford and the best he could quote me for the same size in PS2's was £990 - so just shows you how good the Costco price really is. Out of interest has anyone tried the new-ish Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics??? I keep hearing really good things about them.

Yes keep to topic please guys. Mr Hooper, I had Goodyear F1 Assymetrics fitted all round last week, haven't had a good chance to test them yet but so far so good.

Will - have you ever tried the PS2's on a car?? Im just thinking that its probably worth me spending the little bit more and getting PS2's from Costco - as the F1's are coming in around the £700 in my tyre size. Where did you get your F1's from?? What size??

No not tried PS2 only Original PS but that was on a FWD car.

Why don't you go with the Vredesteins as you have tried and tested them.

My F1s from my local firm, I have 18"

I did like the Vredesteins but not sure they are the right tyre to put on the CSL - handling is the key to the CSL and im not convinced they'd be up for the job to be honest. I'd give the F1 assys a go but im steering toward the PS2's to be safe.
