BTW where is Ibrar, I've not seen him around here recently? His trader status is going to be looked at as he's been rather busy to sort it out recently. He'll hopefully be back on board in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-Brett Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 mitchelin pilot sports, 285/30/19, but thats fitted and vat:rolleyes: I managed to get 2 x 295/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport part worns almost new for £100 per tyre. I live near the porsche main dealer in Reading and my local garage gets the part worns off all the porches there for very cheap. You are limited on sizes in 19s as they only do a few 19s on the porches (295/30/19 and 235/35/19) but they sure are cheap compared to those prices. If you are near reading its worth a try. pm me if you want the name of the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
