hi guys, i've just bought a set of 18's, tyre size being 255/35 r18(back) 225/235(not sure)/40 r18 (front). i work in michelin and can get these tyres free if can produce a letter from toyota saying they're safe to be on the car, however my local dealer won't supply one. any ideas?

I did think about that too, although then the letter would say these tyres would fit a Lexus GS300 and not a Toyota Supra.

 

Worth a shot i guess :)

 

But then you Ask Toyota if the lexus wheels have the right offset and fitment to fit a Toyota Supra. Then give the 2 letters (if they even reply) to Michelin job done :D

Have you any IDEA what Toyota GB 's legal department would do if they found someone forging a letter from them, especially one they might see as having safety implications...? Are we going to be having a group buy on forged tax discs next? :) If you want to put none approved tyres on the car just buy the damned things, discussing this on a forum where we might want help from Toyota GB at some time isn't too sensible, IMO ;)
