You guys might be interested to know that Pirelli have just made a fresh batch of these.

The other important Porsche 15" P7 sizes are also on the shelf.

I think it is interesting how outrageously expensive classic tyres like this cost. I just had a set of Goodyear 19", which look reasonably similar, and are a weird size apparently (so low volume, presumably), fitted and balanced for £125 each.

Is it the volumes that drives the price, or are we being taken for a ride? Just curious... :cyclopsani:

old weird small volume tyres cost more to produce.

generic modern current carcass structures in generic current sizes are cheaper to make and distribute
