blooey62 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi There Desperately need help getting hold of two front tyres for my 3.2S. The spec is Pirelli P-zero rosso 225/40 18ZR N4. I have just fitted two new rears @£400 with the N4 spec which means I must fit N4 to the front. Appears I am stuck between a rock and a hard place as I don`t want to take the rears off and start with 4 similar N spec tyres from another manufacturer. All the stockists I have tried so far can`t get hold of the fronts. It seems they are on backorder from Pirelli and not planned to go into production until next year. Anybody got ideas/solution.

patently Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 This is happening a lot. Earlier this year, it was the Michelin Pilot Sport that went completely - I was in your position and discovered that there were, literally, no N-rated MPS tyres in the UK at all. Eventually, with the rears wearing down I had no choice but to get 4 new SO2s. There were some Pirellis around at the time, but not many - I think I could find some rears but no fronts for mine. I suspect that the complete absence of Michelins is causing a run on the other brands and meaning they are exhausting their stocks quicker than they expected. It's not a comfortable position, but there doesn't seem to be much option other than pay up or wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
