go for for the cheapest tyres you can find. Maybe some chinees wan-lee plastic tyres.
One question; You drive a 997 Porsche turbo and you want it to run 300kmh on some crappy budget tyres?

They do ship to Athens too, and shipping is LOW. Don't know how they do it. : )

1000 GBP approx plus shipping for a set of PS2's is not that bad, but its not that amazing a deal to make a difference... You will save 100-200 euro for a set of 4 tires. Pirelli has an accident insurance program, which will replace the tire... I would much rather have that than save 100 euro...
Look for a tire dealer in Athens, and ask for a discount! We are in CRISIS!
Check out offers for the Porsche Club, they have some sort of a deal with a tire guy... And for the love of God, dont go with Continentals!

guys, be nice. too much Greek on this thread. Maybe we should rename it the Greek thread!

So perhaps we should all have that drink/coffee or whatever together. Since there is 2 of you, maybe I will come down to the water myself...
