Hi Everyone - Hope ypur all well!!


After being away and away from my cherished Murcielago (WIJ 933), I return and have decided she needs new boots on the on the Ol' gal.
After speakng to Lambo Birmingham I am currently looking at £2760 for 4 tyres including fitting. Can anyone advise me where to try on the net tonight to check prices?. My main concern is that whoever supplys the tyres also fits them as a lot of companies won't for other supplied tyres.

I need :
Front 245/35 ZR18 88Y
Rear 335/30ZR18 102Y


Cheers everyone in advance!

Regards

Neil

A fare distance but I always use Marcus at Wembley Tyres in Willesden. I would be suprised a) if he did not have them on the shelf and b) if you could buy cheaper 020 8459 6191. Uses a plastic slipper piece so as not to damage rims.

No worries Neil. As Elite are miles from me, I got them delivered and will use someone local (but with good equipment to do a proper job with the massive rears) to fit them. You should be able to do some research on local fitters who will fit them for you for about £15 per wheel.

Funny they must have sold them this week, but they did say it was the last set in the UK, but it was the swansea branch and they were sending them upto Clydebank, so maybe say that Neil if ya call them again.

Good luck.

PS - haven't got an LP.

Bought a 430 last week, but and there is a major BUT with Maranello, but hoping to sort it this week.

I would have loved a an LP but not really a car outthere in the spec or price a want to pay.

Be careful how they jack the car up - you've got to lift the whole front, or the whole back - make sure they don't try and just raise it by doing individual corners.

UPDATE - After some kindly advice from you gys I calle Dave @ Elite and left him with job of sourcing the impossible!.......... and 4 days later came back with under £1000 + VAT for 4 tyres, fitting, balancing.

So how can Lamborghini Birmingham justify £2760 inc VAT for exactly the same thing. Just a word of caution for you other supercar owners..... .... some dealers fel that coz we av' a FEW quid we,re stupid!!!http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/imgs/10.gif
