Tyre Guidance

Need to get a set of 4 Tyres for my Lotus Eletre but struggling to find one place that can sell the mixed front/rears in order to effectively utilise available discounts.

I want front Pirelli PZ4 275/40/R22 107Y Y XL Lotus. And 315/35/R22 111Y XY for rear.
National have best prices with 20% for 4 now and rears are there no problem. But front they only have the Corsa equivalent in Lotus OEM. They have a BMW one but it's got different ratings (see below).

What do I do ?

BMW Model

Lotus Model

Why not get newer PZ5s?

edit:

Doesn't look available in those sizes.

Blackcircles seems to suggest the Lotus specific tyres are for electric vehicles with 'Elect' in the name of the tyres.

Happy to be corrected on this, but I understand that manufacturer-specific tyres make close to bugger all difference. Just buy what fits.

I get that bit (I am a tyre newb) but the different OEM versions have completely different ratings and I'm guessing handling. With 900+hp I like match match.

Protyre appear to have both sizes in the Lotus marked fitment and are doing £80 off four tyres at the moment. Might not work out as cheap but they're available.

Yeh can see them there and on Asda tyres.

Got like a 300 miles left so might try wait till I can phone national next week as would be 1200 rather then 1600 for a set of 4 others
