Question - do you know if these Pirellis are standard, & can you identify them?

Nice colour though :)

No idea, it was at the dealers when I came out.

Are you sure that's Thunder Grey? It looks more like Osmium Grey to me. Osmium is darker, and less blue than Thunder Grey.

Those 20" Pirellis look to be the same as on my R-Design Pro - Pirelli P-Zero 245/45 R20 V 103 with "VOL" marking (EU rating B/B/70). These seem to be the standard on most cars of that particular model.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve got a thunder grey, and that looks Osmium grey to me. Lovely looking car though 👍

And Michelin somethings (anybody know what?) on the 18" wheels - interesting

I guess there's no car specific tyre then, just whatever is lying around :|

I have just assumed it's Thunder grey because it's an R-Design. and Osmium isn't an option on the R-design?
It was in quite bright sunshine too.

After doing some research I am pretty sure this is Osmium Grey, which is a pain because I liked this colour and I am unsure about Thunder Grey.

I like thunder grey more than osmium grey but for me both grey are too dark to be combined with the black colour roof and door mirrors. It is ok on the inscription trim though. Of course this is a very very personal opinion.
