Interesting Tyre price

[Toaster]

So it looks like the P Zero price is moving in the right direction £170 each for the rear ones http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110... plus the Manufacture resell price has dropped as well

[CTE]

Thats good knews, should help to compensate for the road tax which appears to have gone up (?)...just renewed at £475 for my S.....still it`s worth it.

If you have the 19/20" wheels I found the correct spec 20" p zero corsa today for £194 which is an absolute bargain!

These tyres retail at just under £650 each!!!!

Indeed they are getting better pricing now, the ones yesterday are now £196 !! I think Carbon is often refferd to as Black Gold I think these Pirellis are of similar value

Just as an update - have just ordered 2 x new rears for my Evora NA for just under £400 fitted from black circles. 19" P zeroes, the Mercedes ones. Lotus dealer quoting £640 but unable to move on price unfortunately.

Sounds about the going rate, MyTyres are £178 each today so I guess the fitting cost, the dealer needs to start buying them at trade prices and selling what these guys are

I'm running mine on Avon ZZ5's now.
I really like them, as good as the Pirelli's in the dry but appear to be lasting a lot longer, don't get chewed up on track like the Pirelli's do either.
In the wet they don't have the ultimate level of grip the the Pirelli's have but they're not far off, loss of grip is gradual though and I've not had a single unexpected moment.

Price wise this is what I paid from Camskill, delivered. I have a friend who fits/balances them for me.

2 x rears = £254.98
2 x front = £171.18

That was in November 2013, I run 18's/19's.
Give them a go, British made and quite a saving over the Pirelli's.

OK, so I've not even found my 'perfect' Evora yet but it doesn't stop me in the meantime doing my homework on running costs.

Having recently shopped around for a set of 245/40x19 tyres for my Alfa 159, I got the best price from TyreLeader - shipped from Germany to my local tyre depot in less than 72 hours and when the fitter quizzed me about them, he confirmed that I'd paid less then his UK trade price. So, a quick look at 18/19" Evora sizes turned up :

Our cars have the P Zeros as std right? (Not near my car atm)

[flyingscot68]

Yes. MO, and MO1

[Mr Overheads]

I've just stuck on a full set of Continental SportContact 5P, the Performance Car reviews by lot's of users and specialist press and tests they regularly come out in the Top 3 for Wet and Dry performance but crucuailly have a wear rating that's more normal than the soft PZeros, so hopefully get 10,000 to 20,000 miles out of them instead of only a few thousand.

if you look up a wear rating table the PZero's are worse in class at around "50" normal road tyres are in the 200 to 400 range and the Continentals are near the high end if I recall correctly. I have no intention of putting mine on the track so didn't research track performance.

About to pay £250 a tyre all in fitted balanced inside valve and vat for Corsa for my S IPS

[Sumsion]

Turned out to be £250 +vat per tyre

[flyingscot68]

Ouch, that's pricey. I take it that's the 20" rears you're using?

These Avon ZZ5's I'm using are lasting really well. Done 5k miles or so on the rears now and there's lots of life left in them. The Pirellis never made it past 4k
Have to add though that I've been using the car to commute to Aberdeen so it's not a true comparison. Also the Avon's don't perform anywhere near as well as the Pirellis on the damp/salty/greasy surface we have here at the moment.

[Sumsion]

Yes 20 's £250 plus vat but was only 1 mile detour to work and no hassle

Thanks for this. Got complete set delivered today for a smidge over £500. Half expected an old manfr date, but rears were week 3 2014 and fronts week 9.

Highly recommend this company.

Now to get the wheels refurbed and them fitted.
