Hi All

After some new rear tyres for the Evora - according to wiki they are 255/35R19 MO1 Pirelli P-Zeros.

I've had a dealer price of £300 each fitted - am I missing something, or are these the same tyres that are on blackcircles for £166 fitted?

Many thanks!

Just found them for £134 on tyreleader... Think the dealer makes a nice margin on tyres!

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Pirelli pzeros LTS compound and the MO1? Would you really notice a different when driving?

Pirelli pzero supply the M01 compound and Yokohama the LTS.

I've found all pzeros to be preferable to the yokos but it will depend on your driving style and type of use. I haven't tried those two on the evora specifically and it'll be tricky to find someone who has, although you never know. Yoko's i've always found to be better in the dry and poor in the wet with a sudden breakaway point so grip grip grip.....slide, which is not preferable on the road (!)

I now use the pirelli corsa asymmetric LS's which are a more advanced and far softer compound than both of those above (and you pay for the privilege) . These stick to the road in the dry unlike any other tyre i've used, it's astonishing. They are fine in the wet although being summer I haven't have as much time with them to say exactly.

Whether you'll notice the difference on the road with M01 vs LTS, to be honest with any different tyres it depends how you drive. I suspect most wouldn't and with a car as good as the Evora you would need to be going some to notice the real differences (apart from in the wet as i've mentioned).
Are you saying that there are no specifically branded Pirelli tyres for the Evora? They're all branded MO1 not LTS? I would check the tyres that are on at the moment, but the car is in the garage having the clutch replaced and will be there a while!
