My V12V will need a set of tyres in a couple of thousand miles which has been brought forward by a puncture.
This has been repaired but im not happy using the full potential of the car with a repaired tyre.

Back to the point i really dont like the Corsas that are fitted as they are useless in anything than a hot day IMHO so looking at alternatives.

Have had Michelin Pilot Super Sports recommended but there are no rears available for 8 - 10 weeks.
Can get the P Zero AM8s however for the same price £820.00/set does anyone have any experience of them please?

Car is booked in for new tyres have gone for the AM8s.
Would rather have used main dealer even if they were a bit dearer but!

ATS - £810.00 Main Dealer £1750.00 WTF!

Had my tyres replaced by reputable tyre places. Never had any problems. They are always especially careful of the car.
I think main dealers are equally capable of damaging wheels.

Just to report back ATS were superb treated the car with Kid gloves took pictures of each wheel before removing too.
Also £70 M & S voucher for buying 4 tyres so total cost £740.00.

A bit of both the guy who did the job was a 'car guy' and suspected normal lifts were not suitable so jacked with pads one corner at a time.
Not saying nationally this Co is suitable for your P @ Js just my experience was good and saved a grand!
