Crikey! I just checked a few other sizes and it looks like almost everything is massively discounted. I wonder if they are going out of business and liquidating stock :Confused:

Michelin Pilot Sports 265 30 R20 £77 each
Conti Sport Contact 5 245 45 18 £43 each
Pirelli PZero 225 45 18 £32 each

I will be stocking up for the whole fleet!

Well spotted +++

Edit - looks like the premium brands in common sizes are heavily discounted, but rarer sizes, brand new models and budget brands aren't.

Ive just ordered a couple of sets of 4 P-zeros, great spot Ollie thanks +++

Shouldn't they be 255 35 20 for a D2?

Yes, and they're not quite as much of a bargain @ £196 each :-(.

Mind you, 18" Pirellis for £32 per tyre is pretty damn cheap. I can't see how they are not making a loss at that price.

Cheapest D2 sized - £ 54.60 for the Pirelli P Zeros. That does seem rather cheap!

Might order a set. The P Zeros are a good tyre too, yeah?

But looking again brings up these,

http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rsh...n&typ=R-196949

which I think were the original D2 S8 OEM tyres: now superseded by PS3/Supersports, but still pretty good tyres for less than £65 each, and worth the £10 premium over the Pirellis in my book..

CORRECTION: wrong size :-(

Good luck. The web site is on the blink and they won't take telephone orders
