New R8 Tyres around Maidenhead

[bluesatin]

Any suggestions on where is best place around Maidenhead to get mew rear Tyres for the R8. Very tempted to go for Michelin PS2 as the Pirelli rear are worn in 6,000 miles. Problem is the fronts have good life in them.

Thanks

Can't recall the name off the top of my head but there's a large place just behind the train station which are one of the main Michelin dealers in the area.

Bear in mind that the quattro on the R8 recommends that you replace all 4 tyres at once.

Are Bracknell Tyres still going?
Used them years ago for a set for my old 911.

thats odd because my rears are nearly out at 5000 miles. Did yours wear evenly or on the edges and how is the car driven?

there was another thread on this. you have to be carefull which tyres you put on. you cant just put any old make on, they have to be specific.

Mine rears are flat along the tread.. The traction in the wet, cold and greasy weather is poor so spins the wheels when you lease expect it. Front has plenty of life in them (5mm) so will put another set or Pirelli on the rear and change to Michelin PS2 for the next set. 6000 is a lower mileage than I had on the porsche with Pirelli. I switched to Michelin and they lasted a lot longer on the 996 and 997 turbo.
