    Hi All,

    I am struggling to find them online anywhere, especially in the UK? Do Pirelli still make them?

    Thanks

    presume you are on 17" wheels rather than the later 18" ones ?

    Car is currently on the original 17s. I am viewing it on Friday, but doing some prep work.

    I understand you can fit 245's but have to disconnect the front diff?

    What year is your VT ?
    If a 94/95 tirerack has Pirelli PZero in 245/40 R17 (front) and 335/35 R17 (rear), in stock now

    Speak to Longstone tyres. I got a new set of 17 inch for my Diablo in 2017.

    Hi Paul,

    Spoke to them yesterday and they didn't have a set.

    I am viewing a car on Friday and will see the age of the tyres and take it from there.

    Thanks

    No need to disconnect the front differential for 245s. Removing the front diff and shafts returns the car to roughly it's 91/92 personality, but with power steering and big brakes (assuming it has the Brembos). 2WD livens up the car and technically makes it a hair faster with possibly less wear on the clutch. You might have to re-lower the front end and you'll lose just shy of 100lbs.
