Just been on the tire rack website in the states, they are running a special on the corsas for the rear - 265/35-18 at a price of $130 !!!! this equates to Around £75 with vat but excludes shipping. I have spoken to them and they are coming back to me with a price for shipping, I am ordering 4, ( the fronts are $209, as not on special) they are the correct motorsport version. If anyone else is interested. I am quite happy to add yours to my order. Cod.
Alex.

Alex - I didn't see you were collecting orders (I completely missed this thread) and so placed the order directly with them. Anyway my shipping costs for 2 pairs of rears are 226.94 (Fedex Economy).

Hopefully you can save a bit on shipping for the group purchase (and try to haggle with them for a bulk buy)!

Am I getting the right vibe that the tyres with shipping and tax are gonna be a lot cheaper than UK final prices?

The final price including shipping, vat, and duty will be around the £130-£145 depending on the exchange rate my credit card gives. cheapest uk price i got was around £242 delivered from pro-tyres. so about £100 saving per tyre!!!!!!!! I would say that is a good deal. Shows what a rip off the uk is !!!!! PS I did order 2 extra if you are interested?? Should be here this week.

Yes, especially at the special offer price quoted earlier in this thread.

How much cheaper depends upon shipping costs and the exchange rate applied to the purchase.

Get mine today as well. Just paid the duty and vat so they can be released from customs.
Ash/Justin I am picking them up tonight from FedEx. Drop me an email or give me a call ( tel no is on my website ) and we can arrange pick up when you need them, I am at Bedford at the weekend ( but can only fit two in !!)
Final cost including vat duty shipping etc. is £128 each tyre. Sounds like a bargain to me. If anyone else wants a pair I have a spare 2 left (ordered 16!!!)
Rob, can drop yours off next weekend if that is ok??

Pleased that you've sorted such a great deal. But please check that it's the Pirelli P-Zero MOTORSPORT that they're selling you, and not the cheaper SYSTEM version, which is more road-biased.
