Wanted - Boosts x 5 & decent tyres
Morning all,

I'm looking for 5 genuine Boosts and preferably BFG or GG 235/85 all terrain tyres in good condition. Contis would be fine too.

They come up on ebay reasonably often but they all seem to be at the opposite end of the country to me in SW Surrey (GU27). Looks like they go from anything between £450 and £650.

I'll collect obvs.

If I can find some, my 7.50 16s in very good nick will be surplus.

Any suggestions?

Simon

I'll have a set of 5 brand new (delivery mileage) Boosts available in a couple of weeks in Surrey - the tyres will be coming off them though...

See what I mean!

Don't any of you southerners want to get something more exotic than boosts?

Thanks but the rim/tyre route seems the cheapest route from my point of view.

Cor, they're nice. But way beyond my budget. I've spent enough on this thing already.....

The expenditure never ends. I've (possibly mistakenly) kept a running total since day one of extras from my wish-list purchased.
As things get bought I keep adding to the list quicker than I cross off. The running total is quite frightening.....it will be if SWMBO stumbles across it anyway.

Er, 1mm and sounds like tyres only. Or have I missed something?
