Question

Blub!

I need 4 new 215/40x18's Pirelli P7000's - like really soon!

Best price so far £120 a corner which is a terrifying £480 all in. What options are there?

These 18's seem like a liability - there only seems to be a tiny choice of tyres avaialble. What else is there?

Any help to trim down this "Need this just before Xmas" Moment gratefully received!

Russ

I love my Proxes (215/35x18)...I think Falken has one in that size as well...the S02's aren't made anymore IIRC (225/35x18), and there seems to be some problem with the quality of the PZeros...

I'm going to buy Proxes the next time as well.

I've got the Falken FK451's (215/35/18) also good - very grippy in the dry, a little slippy in the wet.

Don't be tempted by the PZero's, my Dad had some on his old car and they burst inside - black powder everywhere and he'd have never known if he didn't go and get the other front tyre changed and got both done at the same time.

Thanks for the replies Gents, i've had my eye on the Proxes and Falkens.

What sort of money are they? And who supplies them?

Cheers

Russ

My P1 has 225/35ZR18 Yokohama's on. 215/40 seems a strange size??

I do rate the Yokohamas - always have done.

Kurt
