Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio - Tyre Choices?

[smarty156]

About £1,050 for a full set last time I looked (fitted). Or Michelin PS4S (which frankly are much better for everyday use, as long as you're happy to have slightly wider tyres on the rear) were about £900 fitted when i had mine fitted a few weeks back.
As to where to get them, any decent tyre place. I got mine from my local Universal Tyres. They had to order them but they arrived next day.

This is my experience too. Any half-decent tyre place will be able to order them in - I use an independant who could do this no problem.

Thanks for the info. Not as bad as I’d heard, particularly from some of the magazines - lazy shoppers I guess.

Michelin PS4S are so much better on the Giulia QF than the Pirellis.

Highly recommend you switch over to these when it comes to changing.

I bought a set of MPS4S for mine a while back but haven't fitted them as the weather suddenly changed!

I took the opportunity to do a track day at Bedford a few weeks back & the Pirelli's were sensational, just waiting for the weather to change & ill fit the Michelins. Currently at 6k miles & the Pirelli's are still legal so clearly I aint trying hard enough!

Do the same track day with the MPS4S. You will be even more impressed.

How long do the 4s take to scrub in? They feel a bit softer so far than the Pirelli. Not softer as in grippier, softer as in they roll a bit in the corners.

A good few hundred miles I found. Don't forget you're also comparing to worn and heat cycled horns which will be harder than new Corsas too.

Horns? I meant tyres of course. Stupid phone.

Anyone know what the car is like with standard Pirellis on (not Corsas)? Cheers

Probably pretty good if you're not going to track it a lot. The cars (Stelvio Quad) we drove on the track at Goodwood last weekend were on standard Pirellis and they were good enough for what we needed it for. No major issues.

Hi Guys,
time to change my tyres for the first time - just checking in how you are getting on - PS2s or stay with the Corsa? Everyday spirited driving, Summer/winter and the odd track day.
Cheers

PS4S. You won't go wrong

Took mine in for its first service late week, the tyres are at 4/5mm after 3900 miles, bit poor looking at what others have achieved, looks like I’ll be replacing them sooner rather than later. I’ve also got my eye out for a set of dark 5 holes as I fancy a change.

Michelin PS4S here too. Soooo much better than the Corsas on the road.

My choice for replacement too. 245/295 or 255/295?

[GarethRR]

Thanks Chaps - all ordered so will see what they are like at the weekend! Cheers

I went 245/295.

I went MPS4S 255 / 295, no reason apart from a bit more rim protection. But they finish the job now and look properly staggered. Especially the rears from the side profile, definitely no need for spacers on this beast!

Tread wear .5mm after 4k, another reason to buy them.
