neal Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I know they're Pirelli P-Zero but were they Asimmetrico, Nero, Rosso...? Thanks, Neal Quote May: DON'T hit it with a hammer!

Vulcan Grey Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 They were asimmetrico (yellow) Pzero Rossos' didn't come out until later. I had several sets of V8 sized Pzero Rossos... I won't buy them again. If you were wondering. The grip was good until the tread worea little, and then they couldn't clear water. Also I had a front totally start to fall apart from a molding defect that made it through Pirelli's quality checks.

peter_england99 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 The grip was good until the tread worea little, and then they couldn't clear water. I've noticed the same. Tyres that are legal are still scary to drive in the damp & wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyliesmith.com Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ive just had a look at my Lotus build records and yeah does not say which P-Zero. I have only read car mag reviews at the time which if I remember say they were equiped with asimmetrico (sp) . I think Pirellis are over rated for what they are, having used them on the Audi I didnt go back. Quote No.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iconic Ride Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 "Been there, done that," Kylie. Have to agree. After two sets of Pirelli P6000 "ditchfinders" on the 535i, and one too many scares in the wet, I decided I loved my kids too much and switched to Michelin Pilots. So far, so good.

Günter Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 thats what your problem is with the pirellis -the profile blocks/flanks are in an greater angle: if the profile would have more drain volume, and it is more rectangular -than the changing effect would not be so harsh... .
