Just perusing the ads, dreaming of the day I might be able to afford a DBS and came across this pretty example:

..then I saw the tyres fitted on this £86k car!

I've made a note to give that dealer a miss in future.

In the text of the advert it says, "JUST HAD 4 BRAND NEW MATCHING PIRELLI TYRES".

You can buy it now.

Phew - that's all right then.
I can rest easy in the knowledge that it's had a money-no-object service history as well.. ..probably.

You're in luck.

It says it has that, too.

I wonder whether the photos may have been taken before the dealer fitted new Pirelli's, I am sure some might but you would hope that they wouldn't print a blatant lie within the ad.
The apparent lack of the coloured bands and the little bits of rubber that stick out on new tyres might suggest that it was the previous owner who fitted the high quality Linglong tyres. If that's the case where else might they have scrimped on costs.
Frightening to think that some people would either drive or try to sell a car with that much performance on crap tyres.
