Hello :D

Not really a zed question this one...

Mrs gannet hit a pothole earlier this evening and wrote off the tyre :( slight damage to the alloy also but not sure if the wheel is ok yet...

anyway just looking around for a replacement tyre and ideally would like to keep the same make etc as was fitted. Car is a 2009 (59 reg) Mazda 2 Sport riding on 16" Wheels...

Tyre Size required is: 195/45R16 80W
Make etc is: Toyo Proxes R31

I can find plenty of tyres the right size but no Proxes R31 :(

Ive tried the usual culprits such as kwit-fit, national, blackcircles and mytyres with no luck :(

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance :D

PS car looks cr*p with the space saver on :thumbsdown:
 
I think this is what you're looking for at Camskill.

Thanks for that dgm :thumbsup:

not ideal having to get it delivered then arrange fitting but good to know :D

can get it here : TyreFitDirect anyone used them before? Also not sure what they would do if the wheel is buckled :?

If I cant get the same tyre guess Ill have to get a different one... but is it best if mixing across axles to fit the mismatch to the front or back on a front drive car :?

Im confused - things should be so simple :headbang:
 
haveyou tried one of the breaker sights, e.g.

I found a couple of alloys for my daughters ford KA (after some serious curbing), came complete with two tyres still attached (6mm tread) they were immaculate.

EDIT: oops mis read it somewhere, thought you were looking for the alloy as well.
 
Thanks for that Rusty :thumbsup:

not sure if we need a wheel yet or not - Ill find out tomorrow. Wheel is marked but dont know if it is buckled yet.

Price of a new wheel from Mazda is £120 inclusive so not *too* bad - esp compared to BMW wheels :o

Almost as cheap as getting it repaired.... now why can't BMW be like that in terms of price!

Camskill are a good company to deal with. Just get them to deliver the tyre to the tyre fitter of your choice and they will charge you £10 max to fit it. I do this all the time, trust me it couldn't be simpler.
 
thanks dgm, unfortunately they don't have stock of the tyre - and 4-6 weeks :o

must be more expensive down here - Watling Tyres would charge £15 to fit it...

back to the drawing board :roll:
 
My next suggestion is to try Elite Tyres. Your tyre isn't showing in stock but it's worth trying them to see if they can get it in a reasonable time scale. £15 is a laughable price to fit a tyre by the way.

your search engine must be better than mine :oops:

Ill give them a try tomorrow :thumbsup:

Thinking if I cant get the right one, Ill get two of a different brand and or model and keep the other good one for when we need to replace one of the rears.

Either way I will know more tomorrow.
 
Few - Wheel is ok :D

and in the interests of speed now have 2 new Avon ZV5's on the front and a spare Toyo in the boot!

Alignment was shot to pieces though so they fixed that too :D

Thanks to everyone for their pointers etc :thumbsup:
