Where to buy tyres

no_1_dave · 2 Apr 2011 at 01:57

I need another one of these: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m63b0s340p51125
Pirelli P Zero 255 35 R20 97Y XL (J) TL

Camskill are all sold out with no stock date & I've had no luck finding them elsewhere.
I want all my tyres to match, hence needing the Pirelli, also reviews suggest this is still the best tyre for my car. Are their any other online retailers that stock them & are reputable?

Found them with ATS.
Doesnt show if in stock or not though and cost £288

Just noticed you also have to pay fitting etc online with them, you cant just buy the tyre which it a bit stupid.

If you have a Hi-Q garage nearby try them.

Blimey, now that's some pricey rubber.

What does the "AO BSW" stand for on those?
I currently use the J standard as they have been tested on the Jag and that's what came as standard. Mine currently have TL after the name instead of BSW. What's the difference?

AO = Audi
BSW = Black Side Wall

Oh and I forgot to post, I've given up buying tyres on line, I always ring round local tyre fitters, you'll be amazed at how some will bend over backwards.

no_1_dave · 2 Apr 2011 at 11:56

So what does the TL mean on the ones I currently have?

TL = Tubeless

So the Audi ones are probably the same as the jag ones?

They are identical. AO will only be placed on the tyre as Audi has specially requested Pirelli to do it so that it seems like OE (and hence they can rinse people for them at the Audi Stealerships). All Pirelli tyres of that specification/size will be exactly the same whether they have AO on them or not!

Hi-Q don't sell Pirelli's, they are owned by Goodyear.

I usually use blackcircles.com or etyres (or was it mytyres).

Cheap and no problems so far.

Just got a quote for my tyres fitted and and they want £20 more per tyre than I paid Sytner BMW the other day £345 instead of the £325.
