Yes, I have a couple of times, found them to be a lot more accomodating than Dave McCann. They're in Rosemount Business Park about 5mins up the road from DMcC

I only spoke to Rob on the phone when I was looking for tyres before and he certainly sounded more professional than DaveMcC - I'm going to fit some poly bushes and possibly some coilovers so am planning a trip to DTAS for a laser alignment shortly.

Does anybody know the size of the hubs on the FTO?

as in what does the inner hole size need to be on a set of spigot rings?

NEAT! If that's the case I have my spigot rings at home!
All I need now is the Rubbers...


/EDIT

..Grumble...just got email from Eiretyres - expected delivery date is the 21st - that's ten days from now... that means I'll have to drive from Drogheda to Sandyford on my space-saver 5 times...argh!

A quick update on this..

Got the Proxes
Got the fitted..

AND LORD THEY STICK!

They are good in the wet..but they truely shine in the dry..the car feels like it's glued to the road..absolutely brilliant set of rubbers..

In the wet it is possible to upset them - but to be fair nobody drives like a knobhead in the wet - and if they do then they're asking for trouble..

In short it took effort to get the proxes to slide all over the shop even in the wet..
