HELP! I need tyres

[jdwcd]

Urgently need a set of Tyres for a 6.0 litre.
Anyone know who has any.

[S1MMA]

anywhere in the world?

uk

Try vintage tyres...really helpful with mine and a good price to boot!

[S1MMA]

following websites are usually good for mail order:

www.mytyres.co.uk
www.camskill.co.uk
www.blackcircles.co.uk

If it's for a Lambo, then I would not probably trust dave and spaz in my local fitter, and may seek out a pirelli performance centre, have a look on the pirelli uk website for the locations of these centres.

Costco can also order top end Michelins (inc N rated for Porsche) at decent prices, if you're a member - call them for a quote.

....I had major problems getting any this time last year ...none of the normal tyre speciaists could get any and in the end Mike Pullen sourced me some!!! From memory, Phil (Bosscerbera) had the same problem and had to get them in from the US. Good luck.

Mate was down there 2 days ago and they had tyres in stock

I strggled to get tyres for the 355, so best of luck for a Diablo!

I got mine where Boss got his from - my brother John at North Hants Tyres, Aldershot. And yes they had to be ordered in from the States.

[LAMBO1X]

Had tyres on back order from PIRELLI for my Diablo
for 4 months STILL WAITING!!!!!!!!!!

[jackyum]

I've got 2 Michelins if that's any good only covered 500 miles going cheap.

If not I can get the Rosso easy as I've just bought 4 for the Murci, you just need to know people in the right places.

try elitedirect.com, did have rears Pirelli Pzero 18"

[XXVIII]

It's shocking how long Pirelli take to supply PZero and similar types of tyres...

... mind you, they do have an almost-monopoly for Diablos and Murciélagos unless you want Michelin Pilots with the cheesy sidewall lettering - altho' I think they aren't exactly readily available either...

...you'd be almost better off stockpiling a load and storing them for a while...

...actually, that might be exactly what Pirelli and Michelin might want you to do...

...you'd be very, very popular when Pirelli and Michelin start limiting supply next year, as they seem to do!

Yokohama used to make tyre fitments for the Countach which were very popular and quite well thought of back in the 1980's/early 90's... we could all start a petition to have them do so again for the new breed of Lamborghini cars - if you don't ask, you can't get!!

Jon,

Are they the same size as on the roadster? I'm gonna need a set as soon as my new wheels are ready. Got me worried now. Still not got my car back yet either. sulk sulk.

[Diablo_Pete]

Tony,
Think I saw your 6.0 at Mike Pullen's yesterday. Lovely condition!

[TIS]

Let me know what size they are and i'll have a look into how many i have availible and at how much.

[shoebag]

Diablo fronts 235/35ZR18

Diablo rears 335/30ZR18

[jdwcd]

I also need a set for the roadster. they are 235 40 17 and 335 35 17 I think!

[Diablo_Pete]

My roadster is a later one, they came with 18s so wonder if they may be same as what you're after too. I'll stress about this issue when I get the car back and try and worry about only 10 things at a time.
