V12V - New Rear Tyres - Best place to source?

[stimshady]

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to source rear tyres for the V12 Vantage?

AM will be quoting a lot more than online I presume, so I might just order some and get them delivered to the dealer ahead of service and ask them to fit them...

Cheers...

Dealer quoted me £1740.00 got them done at ATS for £810.00 plus a £75.00 M & S voucher for buying 4.
Same tyres - go figure.

Ive always found http://www.oponeo.co.uk/ to be the cheapest.

Works quoted me double the price when I replaced V8S tyres....they were quite open in saying due to volume they just couldn't get anywhere near the mainstream providers.

However, I would want an AM dealer to actually fit and balance them. You don't want somebody used to fitting 16" Fiesta tyres messing with the rims, you'd be amazed how easy it is to bugger the lacquer.

So buy tyres from the cheapest (check the date) and then pay AM to fit them......that's my way.

Actually thinking about it I'm fairly sure that my local main dealer (JCT) will price match.
Worth asking.

Thanks all, found the below on MyTyre looks like a good price - will see if dealer will match.

Not sure why left and right are different prices!

Are these the right tyres for the rear for a V12?:

Event tyres always give a great service, used them on my Granturismo and GT Speed , both have alloys that mark if you look at them too hard, Event left them pristine, no connection etc

These are standard fitment Corsa's which can be temperamental in the wet / cold.
Oponeo are coming in at £269 each, left / right.

You could go for normal P Zero's at around £220 each.

Or of course you could go for Michelin sport cup 2's for a similar price to the Corsa's.

[stimshady]

Thanks Northernmedia - yes, they look even cheaper - great.
I will stick with the standard Corsa's I think... they have serious grip in the dry!

Just noticed the Oponeo ones are only 'Z' rated, but guess it's the 'Y' rated ones that the car needs...not that I plan to go up to 186mph on public roads!

Blackcircles or Oponeo usually do the business for me.

The 'L' after the 2 and before the XL is for Lamborghini.

Black Circles were very competitive the other week:

Michelin Pilot Super Sport
255/35 R19 Y (96) 2x £153.27
295/30 R19 Y (100) 2x £228.05

---

£774.14

Sadly I didn't order then and the rears are out of stock. They said they'll have more soon so if you can wait, keep an eye on them
