Mk1 LCR 225 steering wheel

[ENTERNAMEHERE]

Hi folks.

Been a few years since I've owned a Mk1 LCR but I picked up a clean low mileage 55 plate yesterday. Car is very clean but the owner used to steer with his palm so the steering wheel is shiny after only 22k miles.

Can the LCR 225 steering wheel still be purchased from the dealership?

Also, what tyres came on it originally? It has new Mit Pilot Sports on it but I want to return them it to OEM spec.

Your best bet is refurbing the original back to it's former glory. Chaps will come out and spray the leather.

Alternatively ebay, but you'll pay quite a bit and arguably it could be just a "used" as yours. If you're determined to go down the dealership option I hope you've just been paid... NOT CHEAP!

OEM tyres were Bridgestone IIRC. Best to turn away from these and go for Goodyear F1.

I bought the 225 steering wheel from my local TPS a month or 2 ago. Think it was around £270.

The Pilots have very high levels of grip but those sidewalls make for a very noise journey. How are the Goodyears?

Quite noisy too. Your choice... Noise or grip, I know what I'd choose

I thought the OEM tyre were Pirelli Pzero Rosso.

My bad! Phil is correct
