Argghhhh! 2inch screw in sidewall.
I'm having trouble finding the exact same tyre online, can find 275/40 w106 pzero but tread pattern looks distinctly different. Is there a way to find the exact tyre model currently fitted?

[teaston]

Could you maybe post pics of the tyre sidewall and tread pattern?

The exact tyre is a Pirelli P Zero PZ4.

Closest tread match I can find is [url] but it's not exactly the same.

Hi Dandle,

If you look closely the tred pattern isn't exactly the same. Most noticeable on the right hand edge where on my tyres there are twice as many horizontal cuts leading to the first groove.

It does look the closest match I have found though.

Have you tried https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/cars

They are showing two patterns available in your size and make.

[Dandle]

I guarantee you it's a PZ4 I have just put them on my car and am looking at the tread right now on my car and its identical to your picture.

But there are different versions of the PZ4, the SC (sports car) LS (Luxury saloon), and whether it’s rft or not, and different manufactures markings like * for BMW, N0 for Porsche etc.

I think it must be either this one:

Or this one:

Ignore the photos on any tyre listing, they’re just for rough reference.

Those look right but which one?

[Dandle]

Oh I see what you mean it's LS. I think that the only version in our sizes. This is what I ordered from www.Camskill.co.uk.

Most likely the first one, the second one is also for Ferrari's, honestly I don't know though.

My non RFT ones are the SC version

Thanks for all the help guys. Was able to confirm it's the LS that I needed. Nice picture of the sidewall on my mytyres.co.uk and I was able to match it exactly with the various numbers on my tyre so tyre now ordered and awaiting delivery early next week.

What's your opinion on driving on the damaged tyre for a couple of days. Would only be short journeys of 6-7 mile at 30 mph. They are run flats but also eXtra Load rated.

Ordered one of these from Amazon as a running repair until my new tyre arrives next week.

Pleasantly surprised at how easy and effective it is. PSI holding steady at 35 so I can now drive the car as normal knowing that there is still the run flat to fall back on.

Not advocating as a permanent repair for a sidewall problem but definitely seems worth carrying around in the boot as an emergency fix in case of any future punctures. Anyone else used one of these?
