FYI, the Corsa's have 3mm of tread on them.
Buy some new Corsas.

They might be above the legal limit (1.6mm) but they are very close to their effective limit.
yes even the V8 stock RE050's suffer performance drop off at 3mm
And do more that 5 miles of drving to warm them up!

I'm finding this and they only survived 7k mikes. Off to Scotland today for some fun then time for a new set of rears. PSS seem unusually more expensive than other tyres in the size I need.

I've had 7 cars with them on from the factory frown
Swapped them for PSS's or Goodyear Asym's as soon as they hit 3mm smile

Has anybody with a V12 had experience with the regular P Zeros and also the Goodyears or PSS? Would be good to get an objective comparison before i take the plunge.

L0tt0 & Sukh have the girly (sorry option) tyres biggrin. In fairness Lotto raved at the difference in grip with very little (if any discernable) difference in overall performance. To be fair, he drives like a girl though yes

Mako, i am quite sure Waremark has them.
Correct. I changed when the Corsas got to about 9K and have done about 3k on them. Did not like last winter on the Corsas, very happy this winter on PSS.

I'm going to switch to PSS. Finding the PZeros utter rubbish.

There seemed to be varying PSS tyres on tyre traders when i looked. Did you use a specific one or standard if such a thing exists?

This would be a lot easier if you didn't specify a clean response!

Think it's known as tag teaming wink

Now just waiting for poor Cockers to be hassled about abusing cars - let's be clear, none of his cars have ever had a problem a new engine, gearbox, brakes and tyres wouldn't fix yes, oh I think there is a story about a ditch once though....
