What dude we met what day?
But yes, Option 1 FTW, as long as you don't mind sitting around for hours while they work on other peoples cars (despite being booked in), and don't mind having to go back and do it AGAIN after they put both tyres on for the left hand side. Price you pay for cheap tyres I guess...
I expect to be buying:
2 x 215/45/17 595 RS-R
2 x 235/45/17 595 RS-R
2 x 235/45/17 595 SS
Also will be getting another pair of SS's stripped off some skid rims and fitted to my advans.
They also do khumos really cheap (KU31s FTW) but since I already have a near new pair of 595s for the front, i'm going to get some for the rear and see how they compare. The grip is not quite as good, but maybe they will last longer...
