Front tyres - Michelin PS2s for Porsche

[Asterix]

More rare than rocking horse st!

Can't seem to find any anywhere with the importers saying it could be 20 days for them to come in or maybe longer!

From what I gather, many Porkers run 235/35 fronts - I'm surprised that they're so rare!

The tread has gone from the insides of mine as I run a pretty aggressive set up so I can't drive it now. My fault I guess - I checked them a few weeks back and thought to myself that I need to change them soon. looked at them over the weekend and they're done - not safe.

Arse!

You tried asking Nabooda Porsche? I had a rear Pilot Cup Sport go on the motorway and they replaced both rears the next day. No chance to find one 305/30/19 Pilot cup sport anywhere in Dubai apart from Porsche if you need one on the day. Not cheap, but defo contact them. I got a discount also by asking for one...

Thanks mate - tried them.

They actually quoted a good price, they were showing three in stock, I asked them to check and they phones back and said they don't have anything except Pirellis - no good unfortunately.

Bump - any ideas?

I've phoned the world and his mate and the only real other option is scrap the newish rears I have and go for another brand all round - or, have the tyres shipped over from the UK at my expense.

What a ridiculous state of affairs!

Fit two of the Nabooda ones now and the other two when they land in three weeks? Unless you're a 10/10ths kind of guy it can't hurt for a week or two can it?

As a penniless yoof I once bought a 3 series with different tyres on all four corners - all fairly new which was strange. Interesting times them...

The nabooda ones don't exist, unfortunately.

I spoke with Al Mansour tyres earlier and they're in direct contact with Michelin France and should let me know son how long it will take.

Have you tried Andre at MotorsportWheels on 800 943357? They have very good contacts for a variety of tyres. Their prices and service is second to none.

Great - Andre seems to know his stuff (that they're extremely rare at the moment!). He's going to give me a ring back if he has any news.

Many thanks,
