Title: Pirelli PZero Rosso Tyres
Post by: golfman on January 06, 2010, 09:15:47 pm
Just wanted to know what everyone's opinion on these tyres are?
Got my new alloys going on in a couple of months and 2 of them need new tyres,the other 2 have these tyres already on them..
also need to find the cheapest place to buy these :happy2:
Pirelli PZero Rosso XL 235/40 ZR18 95Y

Cheers

Scott.

rocco came with these as standard, not bad in the dry sh#te in the wet imho, can't wait to get some contis on the front (already on back), even more irritating is they have lasted really well on the rocco 17k out of the fronts aint bad

My Pirelli Edition Golf came with the Pirelli P Zero's and I can confirm that they are an excellent tyre. I believe they are about £120 - £140 each.
I have had Conti sport contact 3's on my last car (2.0T Audi TT) and I thought they were poor in the wet.

The fronts on mine are due for replacement and I will be getting another 2 P Zero's.

Not sure why modern Pirelli tyres are not popular when top super cars have them as std

Cannot comment on the Rosso though

The usual tyre places such as blackcircles, Etyres generally are the best to try first

Hi,
It's a fine tyre..  :smiley:
We have them on my wifes car (Seat Altea) in size 225/40/18. Driven about 40.000 miles on em, so thats pretty good - i think?

Would choose them again, but Michelin PS2 i better!  :happy2:
