After just 4000 miles my Pirelli P zero Rosso's need replacing. I am using a company called Event mobile tyres to replace them. They are a mobile company so I would imagine will want to jack the car up. I would like to make sure that they use the correct jacking points. Does anybody know where they are? Diagrams or photo's would be useful. I am concerned that I might get a 'know it all' tyre fitter who will destroy my car!! I have tried searching the forums, but the search function has been down for over a day now.

Thanks for any help!

Hi

I am also about to jack my car up, I was searching and found this on lambopower for where on the front:



The rear has some round circles stamped in the chassis which you should use.

Also if the jack has a small diameter where it meets the chassis you should use something to spread the weight like a 6" circle of wood or similar.

I've used Event Tyres a couple of times and whilst I can only vouch for their fitter in the Chester area, I did note that last time they used inflation bags rather than a jack, which should make things a little less likely to get damaged smile

They used a bag on my Elise when I had some tyres fitted at a trackday too.

It's good to see a few of you have used Event, the last company I used on my Maserati called T*p t*p tyres destroyed my alloys and charged my debit card twice, so am very wary!
