Tyres again

[V6GTO]

I've checked Black Corcles, e tyres and the other place that advertise on PH but none of them have Corsas. Where might I get some and what price?
I've just been quoted 353 and 287 (Euros) each for them here...seems extortionate.

Micheldever, Elite maybe.

If you've got to import them then try www.tirerack.com - i.e. last time I bought them it was

225/40YR-18 Pirelli PZero Corsa Left $209.00
225/40YR-18 Pirelli PZero Corsa Right $209.00
265/35YR-18 Pirelli PZero Corsa Left $212.00
265/35YR-18 Pirelli PZero Corsa Right $212.00

Shipping Method: FEDEX INT'L ECONOMY
Shipping Out of: Indiana

Order Total: $1,076.96

~~~~~~~~~~

You need to add VAT and any local taxes as well.

Hope that's some use.

Edited to add: Elite are the UK distributors for the Corsa Motorsport so expect best prices in the UK from them.

Do I need P ZERO CORSA or P ZERO CORSA SYSTEM?

Martin SYSTEM are the ones on my RS. Slightly more suited to road use since they have more tread pattern. Same compound, but they won't be quite as grippy on track due to more tread block movement.

I don't think you can get systems in the right size though? The front are one pattern to clear water for the rears which are another pattern (hence the system).

You want corsa motorsports I think. Systems are cheaper however and as I said a bit better on the road.

Elite are the official importers her of motorsports, but they don't/can't discount motorsport tyres which sucks as they aren't cheap tyres.

Sorry Martin, only 1 set left ( blame the usual suspects, ash, justin etc who had the rest) and they are for me. worth keeping an eye out on tirerack as they do special offer now and then. Sorry i cant be any more help, in hind sight i should have brought a lot more.

Apparently Corsa's only have a 6 month shelf life anyway (in terms of how long they are allowed to keep them on a shelf). At least thats what Elite tyres in Rainham told me.

[washy]

I thought Silverline were Pirelli Motorsport importers but then maybe Elite have taken that business now? Or maybe they both do it? Either way Silverline told me the 6 month thing is cobblers.

Prices I got from Silverline barely a week ago are £188 front and £258.50 rear. That's inc VAT and delivery.

The M400 uses Pirelli P-Zero Corsa 'Motorsports'. There is also a P-Zero Corsa 'System', but we have not tested that one - it's more road-focused.

The best "deal" I can get here is on a set of the the latest spec (D3) Goodyear Eagles. Any experience with them?
