I was browsing the Lotus Esprit forums and they were talking tires. They have issues like we do because for several years they came with 15 inch front and 16 inch rear wheels. One of the posters said he gets his tires from Europe. and suggested that quality resellers would send the tires over and shipping was not too bad.
So I checked the first site I could find in the UK:
Search Results: 205/60 R15 Summer tyres - mytyres.co.uk
And searched a few sizes, holy cow tons of options in 205, 215 and 225.
I dont know how the whole customs thing works but it might be worth looking into.
Anybody ever tried buying tires from across the pond?
