You can buy them at Spa on the Porsche Club Spa Francourchamps days. I will be getting mine fitted on Frday before the first session.

Michelin lorry is there Friday to Sunday.

Are they more or less expensive than in the UK?
Unfortunately, I won't be there this Friday...

I have got the list with prices. Give me the dimensions you would require. For reference, MPSC

205/50 17: 235.95 + VAT
255/40 17: 284.25 + VAT

Are these prices competitive?

That isn't cheap. Speak to Steve Winter at Jaz, he can get a set of 4 for the 964 RS (sizes as per above) for about GBP900 inclusive of fitting and VAT.

His number is 020 89031118 and they are located in Wembley.

Steve is the guy working on my car (recommended by H&S), very cool on the phone. Have not met him in person yet. He'll be fitting a tracker to my car soon though - insurance company requirement.... Back to the topic:

My tyre dimensions are 295/30/18 and 235/40/18 (RSR replica car)

I can get them in the US from tyre rack for $304 each at the rear and $252 each at the front.

It comes to $1112 + $270 shipping = roughly $1400 delivered. To that, sometimes you need to pay import duties of 17% which brings it to max $1700 total = about £925 + install, or when you're lucky, it's £750 + install....

check www.tirerack.com

It seems to be a whole lot cheaper than UK prices... I think that may order some there...

Thanks to all for your answers
