I need a new 19" tyre, but it seems nearly impossible to actually get hold of one! Anyone know of anyone who actually has one in stock?
Ta!

There, none in the South or London area. I just fitted to Goodyears for £170 each and they hold on really well or the Michelins are really good and the same price as the Rosso's. The Pirellis are useless.

I am looking for 2 Pirelli's but have heard they are on order with the factory . The general concensus seems to be to keep with the Pirelli's but you can't get them and they wear on the rears very quickly

I was advised by Roger at Monkfish this week that they are on backorder across most of the country. He does however have some in stock. (Unless mine were the last two......)

Thanks everybody, the bloody things are like black gold! Might have to put a pair of cheapskate tyres on the back, the tyre dealer uses them on his car (300bhp) and says that they are quite good - he went on to say that if I don't like them, at least they are cheap enough to spin up!

I dont know if your still looking for pirellis but iv just got some pirelli zero-neros 245/35 19 93y XL (rossos unavailable still) which im assured by my tyre dealer christchurch tyres ,theyre better than the rossos my initial opinion is that they doo indeed seem to grip better than the rossos so im hoping they last longer because they cost 15quid more per corner than the rosso tyres

I've just had a price from Kwik fit who are doing 30% off until end of Jan. P Zero nero 245/35 Y PZNX were coming out at £179.00 each all in and he said there might be a bit more off for 4 which is what I need. Had Good year F1's on the back. Never again the bloody car is like one of those Jap things with rear steer. Not enough strength in sidewall. Even tried them at 45 psi and still wandered under acceleration. Michy PS2 were around £250.00.

I've managed to get just one - had it fitted yesterday. Yeehaa! (been away for a week, so couldn't get it fitted earlier.

However, some ba%$*&d with a heavy right foot has taken most of the tread off both rear tyres, so I need another two (oh no, that must have been me as no-one else drives it......)
Visit to Kwik fit is probably the answer. Thanks for your help everyone.
