I had the same problem with Evora S as the original bolts were going rusty. I bought a new silver set, twenty bolts with tapered washers and had them zinc and black passivation. It is much more durable than painting. I used Dorestware Ltd, Unit 1 & 2 Dawkins Road, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorest BH15 4JP. Tel: 01202 677939 They were very helpful. Cost in 2023 was £60.90 inc VAT and carriage, their minimum charge.

Useful information. It will not make me change to another brand as apart from the the high speed aquaplaning they are better. They are also about 35% cheaper than the PS4S so I am happy to live with the higher wear compared to performance. I will also carry on using my present tyre pressures

Factory recommended tyre pressures are 35psi front and 38psi rear for 19/20"wheels. All four tyres were bought at the same time fronts 6.6mm - 6.9mm, rears 4.0mm - 4.5mm nearside wear more the offside. Wear across the tyres is pretty even. Four wheel alignment carried out four months ago. The front caster angle was adjusted and made a big improvement to steering feel. Incidentally my old PS4S fronts had 5.5mm tread left but because they were six years old had started to crack on the 30mm inside edge which was hard to detect. This was causing the car to hop at the front when doing slow speed manoeuvers!

Yes 35psi front 38psi back on 285/30/R20 tyres. I think maybe it is the nature of the beast as when the tread is 8mm new it is able to move the water less though at 4.5mm. I was going to replace the backs at 3mm anyway so it not so bad. You gain more in the other parameters compared to PS4s.

Bought these tyres fourteen months due to the great reviews on wet and dry handling and breaking over the PS4S. They are great overall but now with the rears at 4.5mm I am finding aquaplaning on standing water a problem. Gets very alarming when the car snaps. Never had an issue before with PS4s. Is anyone using these tyres and having the same problem? Continental are happy to examine the tyres for manufacturing defects for free but I have buy two new tyres in the meantime!

Hello Mayevora, How did you find your lovely red SP Evora? It was not advertised any where?
