Trying to get a pair of 285/35/22, ideally Pirelli or other decent brand.

Struggling to source anything other than Falkens ( seem cheapish local ) or $700+ per tyre each from the locals here on the sunshine coast.

Tried Tire Rack US, but they say they can only export very limited tyres ( Sumitrito - which he admits would not be a tyre of his choice )

Any help appreciated, whether sourcing from here in Oz, US, UK or anywhere that can deliver.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback / comment on the Falkens Neville.

Not sure how they compare to Pirelli Scorpion Zero's which I have on currently.

Will consider though.

Would be interested in finding out who has successfully imported premium brand tyres etc & from what websites for this car & also I guess I will need new boots for a 911 Turbo in the not too distant future.

Tire rack US was mentioned previously, so I contacted them & there guy Marshall explained they can only export certain tyre types to Oz.

Advice appreciated.

PM me, I can point you in the right direction. I am not sure what the issue is for Tirerack, they have sent me PS2s before for my 996T.

A lot cheaper than local prices and fast shipping.
