WTD:- help with sourcing P Zero Corsa tyre!

[Rusty]

225 45 R17 91 Y

After ADI I need a new P Zero Corsa tyre to replace my now egg shaped example If anyone has any links in the industry and can help then please let me know. It's the older style Corsa tyre for the left hand side. I have contacted Pirelli to see if they can help...

Cheers David. Were they pre-enjoyed?

[s2driveruk]

mine were yes but you can buy new too obviously. Think yours were too right? Mine are a control tyre from a one make championship (BMW i think) so there were plenty of part worn ones in supply apparently.

[Rusty]

Have emailed them, see what they say. The Corsas are now NLA so mnight be worth selling them on and getting something else anyway.

[Rusty]

As suspected... NLA. Oh well. Wait and see what fedback I get off the other tyres.

Pirelli UK have told me to send back the tyre through one of their dealers and they'll inspect it.

A chap on ebay,parknook45,used to sell sets evey now & again.

[Rusty]

that's where I got these from originally I've messaged him to see if he can help / give him some feedback

[Rusty]

There is a seller on Ebay with 205/50R17, he's chasing some 225/45 for me today and I'm waiting to hear back to my reply to Parknook

[Rusty]

Here's some pics of the corsa that failed. Y can see where the inner structure has pierced the outer shell and the odd shaped cross section to the tyre where it's bowed out!

[Rusty]

seems that nothing has quite worked out yet. Ebay seller has disappeared off the face of the earth, having responded to my initial email, source of secondhand tyres has drawn a blank for now... oh well

[Rusty]

Still no luck with these... any more ideas? Have got a lead to chase up in March / April time for used track tyres but might just get some Yoko AD08s as a summer tyre but they're not cheap!

I'll have a word with our lass's brother to see if it's possible to get one though his conection.

[Rusty]

Cheers pal
