What make is "this tyre?"

I have a friend in the trade so if you let me know the manufacturer, I'll give him a call.

Give monty's wheels in slough a call. I detail lots of r8's and he had a set of part worn ones in stock right now. I know there not brand new, but they were good as, as they were pretty new.

Are they pilot sports or continentals? As all the ones ive detailed are running pilot sports?

[H13BSM]

Right bud, my good friends at edmunds exhaust and tyres can get them in stock and fitted at the end of the day today!

The tyre I believe your looking for is the following:

Michelin Pilot sport 2 RO1

Price:£190 exc VAT so £223.25 inc VAT per tyre.

Office number: 0118 978 7875

Ask for chris tell him Michael told you that you could get them fitted today and he'll get it all done for you.

Sorry I need Pirelli as I have new Pirelli rears. I am in Switzerland until tomorrow night but need new front asap ( and hopefully before the tire goes flat!)

Pirelli 235/35/19 RO1

Would love to go to michelin but locked in until all 4 go togther.

Thanks for everybodys help- it is a pain when stuck in meetings while try to sort something out.

That man speaks the truth.

Have just spoken to my mate and the tyre you're after has been on back order for months now so if you are holding out for that particular make, you'll have to phone around and hope someone has got a pair kicking around.

If you want a pair (or a full set)of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 R01's tho, my friend has them in your fitment, in stock.

Probably a good job you drive it sedately then John

Thanks to everybody that helped. I have ended up getting 4 Michelin from Micheldever. The time hassle and lack of help from Audi takes me to new levels of disgust for the car industry. Audi, knowing that they have the only stock in the country feel it is fine to double the price of a tyre! Looks like I wont be going back to Audi when I replace the R8.

Did you keep the rears chap?
