Road legal track tyres

Today I had a customer with a BMW M6 who wanted very specific tyres. The rear tyres on the car are 285/35R19 to get good grip he wanted Pirelli Corsa tyres.  They are similar to Michelin Sports cup, these are also street legal track tyres.  They both give great grip due to a softer rubber, but they will wear faster.

These Corsa tyres have an Assymetrical tread pattern, but also they are specifically designed as Right and Left hand tyres. 

The front tyres are 255/40R19, but there are no Pirelli Corsa tyres in this size so the customer wanted Pirelli P Zero tyres.

I arrived at the address and after talking to the customer and getting the car keys and the locking wheelnut removal tool, I then started on the rear wheels, then moved onto the front wheels. The wheel rims were in 'as new' condition, so I took extra care and used additional plastic rim protectors when changing the tyres.

The customer also mentioned that the wheels on the car had been spaced out and extra long bolts fitted.  He wanted to remove the spacers and fit some new standard bolts that he had just purchased.  Except when I went to fit the wheels back on the car, I found he had been sold the wrong size bolts. So I had to put the spacers back on with the long bolts ( He will change the short bolts and remove the spacers at a later date).
