Two questions:

What sort of mileage are folks getting for non-tracked use of P Zero Corsa tyres?

Prices and any recommended suppliers?

Ive heard people on the Porsche forum talking about only getting 4000 miles out of a set, but I now have 2200 miles on mine (no track days) and they still look like they have a lot of life left in them.

As for prices www.mytyres.co.uk are always a good benchmark.

Fronts are £305.60
Rears are £396.90

I make that £1405 + fitting for a full set! eek

I assume by the question that yours are close to replacement now, so may I ask how many miles you have had out of them?
No, I have 4k miles on mine but they look ok so far. I think I need to get up a bit early one Sunday and find a nice twisty b-road and see just how sticky they are :-)

I had close to 8000 miles on a set (taking into account that i run winter tyres from Nov-Mar) and mine had another 2000-3000 miles in them if i not picked up a nail last Saturday. This included one day on track at Silverstone - so i think a conservative estimate is 5000 - 6000 miles depending on driving style obviously (and whether you touch that SPORT buttom).
Oh dear. Expensive nail. Did you replace both tyres on that axle?

Has anyone tried the 3cm narrower tyres?

Or perhaps an alternative brand? (Though these days, that's always a bit hit or miss on cars like this owing to the way they're set up).
I have not tried 3cm narrower tyres. I can get the TC to light up in 4th in the bone dry in a straight line on hot tyres so no way would I go with a smaller contact with the road !!

12000 miles and the tyres are still good - I find it difficult to believe but very happy.
Wow! Have you been driving Miss Daisy?

Seriously though - that's very impressive

Car is still with HWM waiting for a set of new tyres - apparently they are in short supply.

Knowing how much development went into the tyre/wheel set-up of the V12V i would never contemplate putting anything other than the recommended tyre on the car - this is the wrong area to save money imho.
The shortage is something I have heard about. Also agree - don't save money on boots!

Holy thread resurrection...

I wonder if they are even road legal where I live?

Got that cut slick look, like it.
