Any idea where you get the RE070R Bridgestones from rather than paying dealer prices? Any other tyres available as i'm not fussed about runflats?

A UK website would be best.

Cheers,

Rich

tirerack in the US has started listing them. IMHO - unless you have cars in the market wearing those tyres, you wont get them.

Apart from the stock bridgestone and dunlops, Nitto, Hankook and Toyo are close to releasing GTR sized rubber.

Why go for the Bridgestones - I hear they are going to be approx £480 per tyre. Nissan are using Pirelli's on the Silverstone event?

I asked my local tire dealer and he told me that you can also use

ContiSportContact™ 3 RunFlatTire

They are brand new in the dimesnions for the GT-R (255/40/20 and 285/35/20) !!!
