so was a zero typoed or missed? How can a tire cost 3 large ones? So far from my possibilities I cant even think is possible If I were to ask Pirelli to make me a set of tyres in a special size just for me, I reckon they would cost a good few million *each*. Seriously. If these tyres are specific to the LM002, then I can totally understand why they are so much money. Not 'because Lambo' but more because the demand just isn't there on such a low volume vehicle and the R&D, tooling and production costs still need to be met. If they'd equipped it with 195/50/15 tyres however...... On that note, true fact (and one that quite shocked both Bryn and myself), the rear tyres on 'that' Land Rover are around £500 EACH!! OK, so maybe quite not as much as the LM002 tyres, but certainly a hell of a lot more than any other tyre I've had to buy. By a very, very long way. I'll be driving it on carpet from now on.

That's impressive, in the slightly tasteless OTT way that most one off cars for Arabs are.
Bruce what size are they?

Is it wrong that I want to own this only to crash through some buildings? Tough, ugly and looks hard as nails
