Just rang an OPC for the price on two rear Pirelli 285/30/18. Glad I was sitting down, £525! That is madness. Anyone had a more expensive quote?

does sound a lot. not that i usually leap to the defence of OPCs but to be fair to the local lot, when i rang around for 4 pirelli pzeros for my 968 they not only matched the best quote i'd had anywhere but fitted them and valeted the car f.o.c

You're joking right? A little bit of searching and I have it down to £450 and I'm sure with a little more effort that will drop further.

Paid 600 for a pair of Pirelli P-Zero rear tires for my 996TT at the West London OPC. Seemed a bit steep.

Yeah, not much I could do with it delivered there on a flatbed after a high-speed blowout...

Thanks. Now need to find someone to trust with fitting.
