If those are the cheapest/most available tire you can find, get them.
You will not have any unusual problems with them.

Hmmmm. How much would it cost for a CF member to ship a set of Goodyears to Nico???? Could FedEx ship internationally???

Thanks for this positive reply, I am less worried now. And P6000 tyres I can get from a french company here called Feu Vert
But on the other hand, the idea of shipping may be a good alternative. I read prices in the USA we absolutely can not match. There is for sure more than 250 - 300 $ difference at a set of tyres. And there is no hurry either.
But the only problem may be the customs, I have to check what the put upon it here. Can be killing. I will find out
Thanks for the reply.

Nico,
find what you want on Tire rack and ship it to me. I just ordered a set of sumitomo HRZ's ,
P315/35ZR-17 Sumitomo HTR Z In Stock $107.00 $214.00
2 P275/40ZR-17 Sumitomo HTR Z In Stock $88.00 $176.00

Shipping: $149.25
Tax: $.00
Excise Tax: $.00
State Waste Tire Fund Fee: $.00
Order Total Including Shipping: $539.25

not a bad deal for 4 tires. I just shipped your transmission to you for 150 euros..so that would still get you a good deal...or you can drive up here and have the tires mounted in Germany and drive them back yourself..whatever is easiest...let me know...same goes for anyone in Europe..send me an email.

NICO,
I found a price of £82.40 (UK Sterling) (125 EU) for a set of Kuhmo Ecsta 712's here:- http://www.blackcircles.com/?c1=Adwo...oup-youwantAd1
I dont kow if they ship to Italy, but as its in the EU I dont see why not! That also includes 17.5% VAT (sales tax). You might not have to pay that I don't know the rules for sales within the EU.
Dave
Just wanted to add, that I dont think the P6000's are known as a great performance tyre, more of a tyre fitted to Mondeos and the like.
