what a result!

[SunGodRA]

Had a blow-out yesterday, luckily rim was okay etc

I didn't want to buy a brand new tyre as I am getting larger rims soon, so I made some calls and found someone that had a part worn in stock for £75 -he said it was a Pirelli but had quite a low speed rating, but I thought it would do for now.

 

Tyre turned up today - and its a BRAND NEW Pirelli PZero!! - aren't these normally about £170???

 

By the way - has anyone had to use the space saver spare wheel - it looks absolutely ridiculous on the back

Great idea having space saver - but where are you supposed to put the wheel its replacing - cos it sure as hell doesn't fit in the boot! - good job I didn't have a passenger in the car - as I have to put it on the front seat!

Is this why my wesite is taking soooo long

 

as you know, paying customers take priority! - anyway, at least you have had a conceptual design done

[rtbiscuit]

thats the second blow out we've had in a month

mine was an extremely large pot hole on the verge in a country lane - some idiot coming the other way too fast forced me off road!

Stock rims (17") depends on the size, actually slip in the back, underneath the strut brace with a bit to spare.

 

Be extremely careful if you're mixing tread patterns on an axle.

I have Pzero's on all corners

How much are the Zero`s?

[SunGodRA]

no idea - I did a deal on the ones I have, but I think they retail for £170 each ??? I really have no idea to be honest

 

edit: quick google (slightly different size) http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... 1121&rs=gb

"I have Pzero's on all corners"

 

I assume you are running P Zero Rossos on each corner as opposed to the newer P Zero? or have you got non standard wheels?

 

How do you find the Rossos?

I've got them on the front of mine and I don't rate them very highly, not a patch on the B/S RE050A (not to be confused with the crappy RE040!) car wants to push the nose wide on the limit earlier than the RE050A's and they don't offer as much feel.

 

I've got the P Zero on the rear and they are a stunning tyre, excellent grip, fairly quiet, predictable on the limit. The only downside is they wear pretty quickly.

These are not Rossos, just says Pzero on tyre - and they are on standard 17" rims (soon to be replaced)

Pzeros are okay, certainly better than the Bridgestones it came with! - will be getting Falkens with new rims though

Out of interest what size are you running on 17" rims?

Cheers mate, I didn't think they made the P Zero in those sizes, but I could be wrong,

they make P Zero Assimetrico in rear fitment.

 

How much are you paying for a set of Falkens in that size?

They are Assimetrico - just been out to have a look

The Falkens will be going on new rims, so not sure of sizes yet

sorry to hear about the blowout, had one on mine two weeks after i got new goodyear f1's put on! costed me 190€ fitted. will see if i i can find that uk site that seems to have pretty good pricing on their rubber dubber.

Get Vreidestein Ultrac Sessantas, not Falkens

 

I have changed to them and even the cheap falken price isnt going to be enough to draw me back, the Vreidesteins have so much more Grip and feel its unbelievable.
