I'm looking for a new set of tyres for my Pirelli. I'm looking for 225/40 R18 Pirelli P Zero. Does anyone know a good retailer to buy them from at a reasonable price?
-
try these :

Tyreleader.co.uk
Just bought two Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's from them and were the cheapest online and against my local tyre fitter. Quick delivery also, ordered Sunday, arrived today from Germany.
-
Always wondered if Pirelli owners are influenced in tyre choice simply as the have it plastered in the car? Might look weird having a Pirelli and running a set of dunlops :grin:
-
Yeah definitely influenced by my car being a Pirelli
-
I just bought a Pirelli and I'll be tempted get get some for it when the time comes. I could be wrong but the PZero Rosso's are the only ones that have the red Pirelli logo on the sidewall - not 100% sure on this though.
Tyreleader has the Rosso's for cheapest at £70.79 delivered - not sure if that includes fitment, balancing and taking away your old ones though?
Mytyres has them for £85.40 which they say includes fitting, vat, valve and balancing. Doesn't mention your old tyres either.
Kwik fit has them at £85.50 and includes getting rid of your old tyres and all the rest.
-
Thanks guys all very helpful
-
They're not all influenced! :signLOL:
Michelin Pilot Super Sports for me. Amazing tyre, completely eclipses F1's too.
-
+1 for PSS :happy2:

You can safely assume if you go to ANY tyre shop they will take your old tyres for you.

I want to try the Michelin PSS in the future, but the price range is very different from the F1's. For their price the F1's are very good tyres. If the funds allow, the PSS should be almost everyone's choice. :smiley:

I Need two new front tyres soon but I can't afford to shell out for the top end Dunlop's and Pirelli's. I'm looking seriously at Ultrac Sessanta from Vredestein, as they look great and get good reviews (from the mkV community from what I read) anyone have experience of these? looking @ £160 for both fitted and balanced.
What other mid range tyres are there out there that people rate?
-
I had the Sessanta, 95% as good as the Eagle F1 in the dry and better in the wet.
Didn't last as long though
I've just come from the Eagle F1s to Ultrac Vorti's on my Scirocco,Vorti being the "new" Sessanta...all good so far.

For £10 extra you can get the Pirelli's...drink 3 less pints this weekend and you're sorted.... :happy2:

Pirelli P Zero - 225/40 R18 for £90 fitted? where?
-
I've got the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti fitted all round. Rate them very highly.
I've been using Vredestein tyres for a few years now on a number of different cars.
They've never let me down and if you check most review sites they get better reviews than a lot of the higher end stuff.

@Rasco (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=13864)
I put some prices I found from a bit of googling in a post earlier in the thread. Seems that a few places do them for less than £90
-
The tendency on the other forum I'm on (RS246) with RS4 owners is to stay well clear of Pirelli's. Eagle F1's and Michelin pilot sports are much more popular. Have never tried Pirellis, just passing on the feedback.
I run Eagle F1's on 2 different sets of wheels. I tracked my RS4 with a part worn set yesterday and I thought they did fantastically, had to really really push hard to break traction. :driver:
This site is useful place to see multiple tyre review and test results:

Thanks again for you advice

ContiSport 5 are getting good reviews as an alternative

I have Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 on my GT Sport and I like them. The sidewall is a bit soft but that makes them quiet enough while driving. They also last more than enough for my needs. I still have a pair with almost 45.000 miles that is going to get replaced when rainy weather comes back.
I got Continental CSC5 for my OZ Ultras and they're as good as the Goodyear but with a stronger sidewall. They're new so I don't know how long they'll last. I'm sure my Ed. 30 will eat them faster with a Stage 2+. :laugh:
-
I hated pirelli P zero on my mk1 focus Rs, was like a different car once changed to michelin ps3
Recently fitted continental sport contact 5 on wifes Mk5 Gt tdi and honestly think they put the ps3's to shame especially in the wet :happy2:
-
Just fitted four F1s (17") £375 for everything.
Compared to the CS3 (rear) Khumho 31 (front) they are very quiet and the steering is more direct.

That's expensive.

Plus say 10 quid a corner balanced and fitted.

Problem with comparing tyres is that usually people compare their worn out tyres to a brand new set, which is quite difficult

Good point haha.
Mine came with P zero Rossos when it was delivered. They where a decent wear rate and dont remember them being particularly noisy. Since then Ive mostly used Goodyear F1s. Im itching to try the supersport to see if its as good an all rounder as everyone says.

Understood, I was in hurry, so paid the price.
