Tyre Help Needed ...

Tyres Help Needed!

A guy at work is after some tyres for hus newly aquired Maserati.

He needs to get his hands on either ...

185 x 70 x 15 or 195 x 70 x 15 FRONT

and

205 x 70 x 15 or 215 x 70 x 15 REAR

Both sets needs to be V rated..

Anyone any ideas of places that might have these sizes? As so far we've drawn a blank ... bar some really crap makes.

cheers

Andy

edit - loosing my marbles as put down 17 not 70

Why those tyres, they put them on a bus, not a sporty car

Does he not want any grip

That's the issue we have come up against ... bloody van tyres! There are some available from Italy but not worth the shipping costs.

That's classed as a 'light truck' size over here. They do however have the Pirelli P4000 Supertouring available in 205/70-15 and 215/70-15, Z rated. They're between £41 and £46 each.

Nothing for the front though!
