    Last week I had the misfortune to get an unrepairable puncture in the near side rear tyre on my Countach QV. I've since tried to find a new replacement tyre here in the UK but I've had no luck and ended up buying a set of 'part worns' (dating from 2003-4) instead, just to get mobile again.
    I'd really like to fit a new set of Pirelli P-Zeros but Pirelli tell me there are no plans to make any more new Countach tyres currently, so I'm a bit stuck.
    Does anyone know where I might be able to source some from, or are we all in the same boat when it comes to buying a set of new Countach tyres?

    Hi all,

    You can normally find your Countach tyres at Longstonetyres (UK) www.longstonetyres.co.uk


    New production tyres have recently been available again from them (2011); both Pirelli P-Zero Assymetrico :
    - 225/50ZR15 front : priced at £189 excl.VAT
    (no 205 reproduced at the moment for the early Countach S)
    - 345/35ZR15 rear : priced at £395 excl.VAT

    Hope it helps !

    You should also consider the Michelin TB15, 215/55/15 front, 335/35/15 rear. Also available from Longstonetyres.

    Longstone is out of rears. Every retailer in the US appears backordered also.

    I have been in contact with Pirelli who told me availability in the US by December. There are also reports that the production run will be in the fall.

    345/35-15 are produced in Germany just one time in a year.

    Longstone is too expensive £ 399 + 19% VAT means 541 euro + shipping.

    I paid mine 400 euro, shipping included!

    You must wait for the new production: they should be on production now, add one month or two to reach US.

    ciao
