Tyre availability

Can anyone suggest a supplier of Bridgestones for a S2,i have had some mad quotes from the dealers £800+!Black circles have quoted a much more reasonable £460 but they havn't been able to get any in the last five weeks.Failing this what other makes could i consider(no track work).Thanks

Got mine done yesterday in a Ford Rapid Fit Garage! Sourced direct from Bridgestone - gave them the DOT code and explained that it was Lotus and they sorted it - and got them delivered in two days - the guy who fitted them runs an S1 so he knew what he was doing. Correct pressures, balancing and torque etc... He even brought a jack in from home to do them.

Took a little while but the jobs a good-un. Two rears cost me £270 fitted. Better than the £173 each Lotus quoted.

So that may help (or not).

A little place in a small village in buckinghamshire sorted me 2 new rear bridgestones for my 111R for a mere £105 each! Worth the journey i'd say!

Black Circles - 2 rears fitted last week at local garage all arranged through BC total cost including VAT and Fitting was 256GBP - An excellent service, think the fronts are harder to get than the hard to get rears though.

Local Lotus dealer want £180 each plus VAT and Plus ftting

Hi, i went to a bookatrack.com track day at Castle Combe last month, they were doing a Bridgestone full set for the Elise for £399 fitted, think that included the VAT too and for the Yokohama A048's £599!
Give them a call as the offers not on the website, they do it at the events they run around the country.
