FOAK: Car tyres

A friend says, that despite trying everywhere, he is unable to locate a
pair of Pirelli P-Zero Rosso - 275 35 R18 For his Lexus GS300 Sport.

Any suggestions?

 

Yeah - buy some other round, black ones instead.

 

Thank. No really, that's great.

 

trade the car in for a new one.

 

Tell him to go and get some standard wheels off an Avensis, after all,
it's just another Toyota.

 

Heh. At twice the bloody price, too. And when my Avensis got smacked by a
Lexus, the Lexus came off worst.

Whilst my comment was terse, it is a serious suggestion.

A quick Google shows that P-Zero Rossos are standard fitment on a
number of high performance sports cars and while having great grip,
don't last that well. I suspect that this is not a major problem and
it is worthwhile on, say, a Porsche.

A GS300 is "executive saloon" IIRC, and unless your friend is in for
the BTTC next year, I am certain that there are other, comparable tyres
out there that will a very similar job and he'll hardly notice the
difference.

 

A lot of people, including myself, swear by this place when sourcing boots
for a cage.

I've been using them for over 6 years now and wouldn't consider going
anywhere else.

They always price match the best deals I find online, and the service is
second to none.

 

In

www.mytyres.co.uk list 275 35 18s for anywhere between £85.90 and 233.30
each.

No P-Zeros though.
