Have we reached a conclusion on what's best to replace the bridgestones on a 3r with?

And.... if you only need fronts but can't get bridgestones do you replace all 4?

thanks
A.

Just ordered P0 Rossos from memory £130 front and a bit more for the rears. Doing the full set though so can't (and wouldn't usually) advise mixing them - made mine very strange in transition

Need a rear left Motorsport Corsa for my M400 - anyone know good place + price? Just had about 2 inches of lead weight embed itself into mine. Tyreweld just came out as fast as it went in.
Thanks

Everybody who cant supply says that, try Silverline or the factory.
www.silverlinewheels-tyres.com

Just noticed they're still offering 285/30x18 Corsa's for £125.00, they would just up the gearing by 2%

Elite were very good at sourcing two new fronts for me, and fitted them expertly.

www.elitedirect.com/

They are known as Pirelli PZero Corsa Race apparently - that's what the invoice said.

You have to go there just to see their 'waiting room'

Thanks chaps - Elite said they just couldn't get hold of any, and Silverline said that Pirelli have switched production of the Corsas to a different manufacturing facility, which is not yet up and running..
None in stock at Noble...
Have left it with Performance Tyres to try and track one down for me.

Did they have any tread left on them?!?
Normally 600 quid would just about cover the rears.
Whereabouts?

I've gone for Toyo T1-R's on mine this time and although they seem to tramline on the road a little more then the Bridgestone and Pirelli's they do seem to work quite well. I've not tracked it since getting them fitted though, so can't vouch for there performance there yet.

Toyo T1-Rs don't have a stiff enough sidewall in my opinion hence you will lose some turn-in speed. They are however an excellent all-round tyre particularly in the wet. R888s are superb. Corsas are also superb in the dry obviously a bit hairy in the wet. I think I'll be going down the R888 route next.

Yes please - I've 3mm on the back and 4mm on the front so 20 or so more miles of 'spirited' driving and they'll be shot...
