Bush Tyres Spalding fitted a full set of 245/35ZR19 & 325/25ZR20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres to bespoke carbon fibre wheels for Pilbeam Racing.
Fitting low profile tyres is a skilled job at any time, but knowing each wheel costs around £12,000 adds to the pressure & it has to besaid, our tyre technicians were, understandably, relieved when the jobwas successfully completed.
The wheels were also fitted with TPMS valves for use with a programable tyre pressure monitoring system.
Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
