    Stephen,

    Your local Porsche dealer should be able to source N rated vintage Pirellis if that's an option for you. I had enquired with mine for CN36's

    Yep, Longstone ships by Royal Mail. Super cheap and it takes just a few days. I do like to buy local, or in Canada, when I can, but XWXs weren't easy to find when I bought them.
