Hi

Does anyone know if tyres for post-LP400 Countach are still available in the UK? I believe the only option is the P Zero now.

thanks

Craig

Well there doesn't seem to be any 6.0L Diablo tyres anywhere in the country!

Craig. I would give Mike Pullen a ring (01444 455 100) for a definitive answer.

Go on, how much a corner? And can you get budgets for them?

Poor Mike and Mark-seem to be really peed off about the tyres

Thankfully no cats on the car (well unless Dennis is sitting on it )so, I have gone for an X-Ost system (only one in the UK) which has been made VERY LOUD spec

Here is a clip of a "normal" one

Looking forward to getting as ASBO for upsetting my neighbours

I've got a little used Pirelli for a 25th if anyone needs it to get back on the road!

Pete - What spec did you order on the X-OST? I desperately need to get a rude one on before Le Mans

Andy,

If you speak to Dave @ Scuderia Sales and Spares and ask him for "South London Geezer spec" he can get it for you

There is a big lead time on these as this are made to order.

It does seem louder but also deeper ... you won't lose the high pitched Ferrari V12 howl will you?
