LM002 tires

i do not know really
interested in buyng the set for a friend
are 1100 euro enough for the set?

 

$1500 a tire. Wouldn't let them go for anything less. They don't make them anymore, so good luck finding them.

 

They're not worth a whole lot. The original tires (what you're selling) with the sand lip are basically useless on the roads. Basically only good as spares, but not a full time replacement for the (better for the road) newer Pirellis. I turned down someone trying to sell 3 new tires and one old tire for $2k. Just my .02.

 

You should be careful ripping into people that are just answering the question you ask. If you knew so much you shouldnt have ask. Your response to your post isnt the best way to make friends on Lambo/Ferrarichat.....maybe thats not what you wanted....maybe you just wanted to ask questions that you already knew the answer to.....anyway welcome to Lamborghinichat!

PS...you might want to fill out your profile so people will take you seriously....just my 2 cents

 

Well, you can ask the three LM owners that I know of (one of them is me) whose sand lip tires exploded on them and potentially could've caused some very serious damages. But what do I know, you sold the tires on ebay so you must be right. I paid what your buyer paid for brand new (updated) tires for my LM (with the original stickers still on them). Now...if you were the buyer and not the seller, which would you buy for the same money?

 

That's a good point. I had 2 blow out on me at speed during a Bullrun. The 3rd was getting ready to go.

 

The problem with these tires is that that they are to old to use. The componds in the tire break down after 5/6 years and are not safe to use anymore. That is why I took off my 20 year old tires and replaced them with super swampers.

 

Agreed. Ferrari doesn't even recommend I try and source OEM tires for my 4 yr. old car, they'd prefer I seek a newer replacement. How do you think Lamborghini would feel about you using 20yr. old tires that were never intended for long term use on paved roads in the first place?

 

if they were new ones may be...
but nobody would pay THAT much for 20 years old and used tyres imo

still hard to tell a value but since they went for 900 $ each i'd say this is the market for these

 

I need to find original LM002 tires asap, any suggestions?

 

Contact Roy Cats.

 

Yes, I have at least 20 still in stock...

Sandlip and non sand lip

 

any chance Coker bought the molds and could make new sets??

 

can offer You Pirelli tires, new profile but about 6 years old for a LM002 in Munich Germany, shipment also possible

 

I identified some tires on this thread https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/lm002-rhd-rolling-restoration-will-be-updated-regularly.406745/page-57
that look to be a very good fit and are no longer made. Since it is a US manufacturer that already has a relationship with Coker Tire I contacted Coker about reproducing them. I think it is a better chance than any other. If you are interested why don't you contact them too?

Lamborghini has already had Pirelli reproduced the tires, you can buy them from any lamborghini dealer.

 

My dealer wanted $25,000 CDN for 5 tires. No thank you

 

US$18,700...…..Just ridiculous. Effe that dealer. But you maybe be stuck as I think Lamborghini dealers are the only sellers. If that is the case, keep shopping! There are dealer sponsors and sponsors in general here that might be able to help.
I thought they were about US$2000 each which is still stupid. They are just tires from an old mould. There is such a thing as a reasonable cost for a very limited production tire.
Worst case, use something else and drive the sheet out of them like I do.

 

A contact at Pirelli USA was familiar with that situation. Pirelli has a contract to sell all of those to Lamborghini.

We have a better chance of getting Coker or BFG to remake the LT345/55/17

 

I have a set of five new tires (bought them 3 years ago through a Lamborhini dealer). As I sold one of my LM's recently I don't really need them anymore. I sell them for USD 10'000 plus shipping.

If interested please send a pm.

 

I still have a set of 5 stashed away as well, the close to 20K dealer price is surely ridiculous.
BTW There's only the occasional production run and lucky enough I was able to get my hands on 10 pcs.
