I have a near as new set of Pirelli P6000 225/60/16 tyres on the front of my car and the rears need replacing but I cannot find anybody that sells them new? I have found some 235/60/16 P6000 tyres here http://www.ctyres.co.uk/product_search.php?id=2793 will they be ok for my car?

Thanks

Why not buy a par of tyres from a different manufacturer?

Does the XJS have any fancy skid control that depends on all the tyres having the same rolling radius?

blackcircles.com have 28 different makes and types of tyre in that size . . . . I'd go for another brand and get the right size smile

I've always been very happy with the P6000s on my X300.
