This video released recently compares the 3 main competitors, sorry no pirelli.



I trust this guy. Contis come on top for performanxe followed by Goodyear and Mich last. Mich best for road. I have Goodyear Asy5 and they are fantastic.

Didn't know that site existed! Thanks for that, that looks like really good prices. 

Thanks for the comments guys, i'm getting a feeling that the PS4 or equivalent tyres will be the better 'road' tyre compared to pirelli. I don't really do any track driving at the moment, although would like to in the future. I'll shop around a bit more, not like i'm going to get to drive anywhere far anytime soon!

Couple pics, weather's not great //as we know// - but loving it so far! Starting to plan out what I'm going to do to it over the next few years. 
Yep, can't really enjoy it fully right now. Can't wait for a bit of sunshine. 

Got the car! Mechanically it's pretty sound, has a few visual issues that can be sorted out. Very happy to finally own an 86, it drives like a dream! 
Thanks everyone for your advice!

It's a £600 service as it's tricky to get to the plugs. I would check that has been done or agree it at point of sale. As for the Primacy tyre, there are better tyres out there, though I stuck with the Primacy for the first 25,000 miles and did enjoy it a lot. You can get PS4's if you want grip over anything else. I had more fun though on Yokohama V105's, not quite as much grip but you could play with it more and a good upgrade over the Primacy HP. 

She looked after it but it went back to the dealer for the Aero so after that who knows 🤔

A dying group Ian👍

The OEM tyres are notoriously shite. Can understand why someone wouldn't pay twice the price for tyres with a reputation for low-grip.
Arguably putting hugely grippy tyres on this car misses the point anyway.
Don't worry too much about it, get it bought and good luck.
 

i guess it depends on the rest of the car and the history etc! If you are happy with the rest of it, then the tyres may not be a deal breaker but use them as a negotiation point, so you can get some  money off to put towards decent tyres.
