I am in urgent need for the following tyre size:

Pirelli PZero Rosso 285/45 R19 111W MO

They are to be fitted to a 2009 Mercedes ML Class and I require two tyres.

I cannot find anyone that supplies this specific tyre!?!?

I am based in North Hampshire so they would need to be within delivery distance or have the ability to be sent by courier.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I can vouch for that statement.

Had them (225/40 variant)on my Focus St until 2 weeks ago.

I have tried Micheldever and they said they would come back to me but as of yet haven't heard anything!?!

I realise they are more of a summer tyre but anything else makes the road noise unbearable!

Mercedes only advise the use of this specific tyre on the wheels that I have and have gone as far to say not to put anything else on..

Have you tried Martins in West End?

Or Roadwheel in Fleet?

Aside from them I wouldn't go anywhere else personally.

ETA: no, I'm not the Martin in question before anyone asks hehe

Is it a run flat version you need, or a non RF?

If it's the former, then mytyres list them.

Why so urgent?
The sidewalls have large cuts in them having been used off road and I don't want to risk having a blow out on the motorway as I am going to be doing a lot of motorway miles over the festive period (with the littlun' and the missus in the car)..

I can't seem to find them anywhere, think I'll give Merc another try to see if there are any other options?!?!

I did have a look but they are a ZR19 as opposed to an R19?! Do you know what is the difference is?
