Worth a pop!? Rekon you would get burned?? The fronts are the same price on 235/35/19s too. Huge website glitch!!!

Seem to be same price for the 255/35/18 PS2 and PS3's

Never heard of that site before

Well they are usually over £350 a tyre and I have seen them before, tyre men are supposed to be good. If you search for a tyre they are all pretty much £127... theres a glitch on the site. But the whole set comes to £508...!!! less than half the price. So if it is a glitch they can either say sorry sir... and i will get my money back or they will swear by the glitch.

What do you guys think??

Very tempted to order some of the best run flats available from here, even though I can't afford them right now. Technically. Out of interest, what would the best rfts be ?

Ordered. A Full set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports 265/30/19 & 235/35/19 for £508 and free delivery.

Ordered on a credit card just incase it does backfire. Thats £150 less than Vreds!!! Hope they stick with the glitch!!

Best of luck... out of interest, what is that icon in between iPhoto and Lightroom?

Pirelli P zero RFTs - better than Bridgestone standards ? At £127 each they are ridiculously cheap...

[sp3ctre]

Wouldn't get too excited guys, I doubt this is gonna be honoured (hope it is though!)

Trying to load on iPhone at the moment, site returning lots of errors... gonna get a set of spare rears ASAP if I can...

U never know we might make the national press... Z4 forum bankrupts the tyremen..

Its a software called virtual rig studio. Basically if you do a lot of 3D modelling IE cars you can use this software to create a realistic blur effect of a road scene. Basically when shooting with a rig the further an object is away from the camera the smaller the blur also in a real rig shot there will be a plain of focus with a blur then it will tail off to the edges. With this software you can create blur around corners with points of focus and intense blur. You cannot create anything like as realistic in photoshop, only if the car is horizontal to the camera basically horizontal or vertical blur. But with a 3D model you can control the light and add reflection then place the car into the image from you 3d modelling program its how all the pro car shoots are done have a look at this, Porsche advertising campaign:

Its a shame that they don't do proper car photography anymore. But gives you a lot more flexibility. Unfortunately it takes over 300 hours to make an exact replica of a car in 3d modelling software so I haven't been able to use it yet. But its what I want to do as I get more experience as an automotive photographer. Prefer the old school rig shots tho they look real hate HDR and CGI images you can spot them a mile off.
