Need new tyres on the rear 265/30/19 - currently have Pirelli P Zero all round but the cost is horrendous so might go for cheaper option and change all 4 - Any of you Roadster S owners changed recently, decent deals anywhere? Had a look online but options for rear tyre seem a bit limited.

You wont like the price of michelins either, so id say goodyear eagle f1 5s, hankook s1 evo3 or dunlop sport maxx rt2 as value for money propositions.

Someone posted yesterday (I think possibly True Blue) there’s a £100 cash back or discount on 4 Michelin’s bringing them into a few pounds difference to Dunlop’s. I think around £500 for a set of 19’s

    The rear tyre size is the issue, choice is pretty limited and the p Zeros are over £300 each.
    Will look into the cash back offer! :thumbsup:

      Have a look at 255/35/19 - work just as well as 265/30/19 but much cheaper with improved ride comfort :thumbsup:

      You’re losing 1cm on the width, which will be barely noticeable on a 9J rim
