NEW TYRES

May be of interest to those in my area. Two Pirelli scorpian zero,s inluding fiting and valves from Martini tyres Wolverhampton. £130 each. Cheapest supply and fit i could find. Used them many times, excellent service and very efficient .You need to ring them for next day delivery. Thumbs Up

The OP may be smoking something, as just one tyre costs £141 in 19inch.

I just checked their website.

Made in China, like my Pirelli Scorpion Plus tyres. You have to look really hard to see the very tiny font used.

I actually bought Specsavers recently, never again, the worst lens I have ever had, both optically, a strange distortion, & maintaining cleanliness, never had to clean lenses so often.

A Peak Loupe works well or a Volk 60D double aspherical lens, costs 3 arms, 2 legs, a testicle, a daughter & a week without the Freelander! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

With regards to the make of the tyres. There are no extra markings such as made in china or such like. Just the makers. I am assured by my tyre shop they are genuine. Ps. I think specsavers are doing 2 for 1 offer at the moment. Rolling with laughter

It doesn’t matter where tyres are made. What matters are the standards to which they are made and the systems for quality control in place to ensure that those standards are maintained. So a Pirelli made in Italy should be as good as a Pirelli made in China and the same should go for all the premium makes. Problems occur when you by an unknown brand that are not subject to the standards and quality control that we expect. You pay your money, you make your choice!

Re Specsavers. Gave my last pair back to them as unusable. Full refund, went round the corner to Optical Express, sorted.
