If you type in your numberplate on here http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/ then you can find the right tyres for your car.

yes - those are the correct size

check with Pirelli UK to see if they have stock (they supply all UK tyre dealers)

I fitted some a couple of months back and they had stock then

Exact size: 235/35ZR 86Y ZEROA, PIRELLI, I had to wait for PIRELLI to make them only do in batches, you can place an order with Quick Fit! for them, you might have to wait a while, mine took ages.

As mentioned in the "M" Forums, if using Kwik Fit, use the website and book them through that, Buying 285/30/19 P-zero Rosso's, I saved £75*!!

  • Compared to a telephone quote I had off my local branch, who then fitted my internet booked tyre for £9 lol.

Try these people, when we needed a set for the Gallardo, they were very good, competitively priced and called when they said they would

Roddy im thinking you seriously need to get a picture up cos I havnt seen any other r'ster with 6.0 wheels and it looked amazing that day we put them on, tyres looked fine but its a gamble. The web is a powerful place, i guess you'll have them in no time, John's offer of the not bad tread sounds like the best option the now. Sorry i never called you back that Friday evening mate, been busy fighting the women off!! catch up soon

Hi

Normally reside over on Lotus section but leap over here occasionally.
Tyres have always been tricky to find for the Esprit so I can sympathise but these guys below are worth a try and they do have your sizes:

Call Ultima Sports Cars in Hinkley

They fit the same tyres front and rear as standard to the GTR and the factory hold tyres and wheels. I think there are also some Toyo and Kuhmo direct replacements but they are a much softer compound more for track work.

Worth posting on the Ultima forum as some of the track guys remove the Pzero for Kuhmo
