Flat tyre in La Rochelle (360 Spider)..

[Smirnoffmark]

Hi,

I've managed to get a flat tyre whilst driving (or trying to) around France; I'm currently in La Rochelle however having problems sourcing some rear tyres. I've currently got Bridgestone Potenza's (a02s 275/40 zr 18 es2 asz 140 775)'s on however as French regs require both tyres to be swapped out I'll settle for anything that fits... Anyone know of a garage nearby that could source? I joined the AA european assistance however they're proving to be as much use as a chocolate teapot..

Cheers,

Mark.

to add not strictly true.....french regs require same brand and model of tyre on the same axle!!

Thanks for that page... however I really should have spent more time listening in double french and less time thinking about cars ... Have no idea what the page says..

I've used Point S for some years and they have been most helpful. There is one in La Rochelle which is called Dolus at the junction of the Route de l' Ecuisserie and Route de la Rousselliere. Telephone number 0546755174. Hope this helps.
