Difficulty finding tyres for early XK8

[dom9]

Search is down so I can't find the appropriate threads but I told my F-i-L that I would ask about where to get tyres for his XK8, on here.

He is running the standard (5 spoke?) alloys so I assume the sizes are 245/50 ZR 17", but he says that it is very hard to find a full set at reasonable money as stocks are very low, in the UK.

He doesn't need them right away as he does very few miles in the car at the moment, but the garage suggested a new set in the not too distant (but couldn't source any) and he would like them for winter/ bad weather.

He would ideally like 4 of the standard P-Zeros, does anyone know a good source in the UK that would deliver (else Surrey is local for him)?

Thanks in advance, Dom

I always use Blackcircles.

Black Circles and Camskill both are good - but you'll need to get a price for fitting if you buy mail order from Camskill. Since our local tyre monkeys have started charging £15 a wheel to fit tyres supplied by someone else Camskill are not such good value.

I've head several good things about Mitcheldever Tyres in Hampshire - not too far away from you.

Thanks guys, I will put him on the path!

I use Camskill for the R888s on my Porsche and am happy with their service, but I know what you mean about fitting but I tend to get my alloys refurbed at the same time, so it works out well.
