A poll here would be useful.

Gallardos are rather tyre-sensitive.

Everyone should list what brand and sub-brand of tyres they currently have on their G.

Where is the 'L' displayed - just got new ones from Lamborghini dealer but want to check they're correct.

Thank you.

Pirelli & Lamborghini state there is a different compound used when the tyres are made.

Which affects the diff in what way exactly?

Or is it just a chance for you to bullst customers in to spending 50% more when they come for a service?

The mechanically minded among us will take some persuading of this....

Which reminds me, are the number plate bulbs a specific make and model as well? Is that why you wanted to charge me £35 to change one last year? The 50p equivalent I bought seems to be doing the same job, but I'd be happy to upgrade to a 'genuine' one if there's a good reason for it.

Michelin Pilot Supersports are worth a look, they're amazing, they provide more grip than semi slicks and work in the wet!

Pilot Super Sports are epic, but having just gone from a set to Michelin Pilot Cup semi-slick track tyres, I can safely say that they still do not have as much grip as those. However, given their versatility and lifespan, they are a very, very impressive tyre. One of the best road tyres out there without a doubt.
