[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Apparently both front tyres are 'Donald ducked'

I quote.

Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements. Both tyres.

Best price I can find is £345 ( after negotiation) for 2 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/35/20 97Y.

Ah well.

£345 is not bad for those tyres. Even my astra derv needs at least £100-£120 a corner for anything half decent.

The original quote, which is presumably MRRP was slightly over £500. I wonder how many people simply pay up without trying to negotiate a better price?

Th tyres on the back are bigger 285/30/20 so will cost more.

Have you actually looked to see if the tyres are damaged ?

A mere trifle for the owner of half of Lincolnshire.

Less common size, so price does go up a little

For five quid more Lord Opti could have new tyres all round. 

Fronts 255/35/20

Rears 285/30/20

Good enough for his weekly trundle to Waitrose?

I like the sound of the HIFLY ones

Plastic tyres shouldn't ever be used. 500bhp on those, I can predict the outcome.

Chipped to 550, iirc.

LOL, just looked at link, cant even manage a A for wet grip. I'd refuse to even get in the car.

Yeah, but he's too gay to use it all.

You'd need a new set of tyres every day with that under your right foot.

510 BHP as stock . About 570 BHP following the the remap. I did consider a pair of economy 'ditchfinders' but I came out in  a cold sweat.
