What do people run?

I have looked at the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS Fiorano, but they are almost 3 times the cost of the P-Zeros

But knowing that the PZeros are really designed for something a little heavier than the Ultima, will they do the job?

we have p-zeros on our can-am ,they seem to be fine ,there is loads of grip even in the wet !try not to get caught in the wet as it makes me very nervous !!

What price are you paying for the goodyears?

[atom290]

I had a quote from www.micheldever.co.uk tyres

Rears
Goodyear £525
P Zero £235

Front
Goodyear £340
P Zero £110

Found the same drastic differences in Germany.
The factory offers a set or rears for 670,- and a set of fronts for 395,-.
What type do they deliver?

Will need to renew some rubber shortly- what are peoples experience of the Pzero. Grip, lifespan. there seems to be a vast difference in price between them & the goodyear- WHY?

From chatting to the guys at Michel dever, most manufactures have given up doing these tyres

Dunlop dont do a tyre
Michelin have stopped doing them
Goodyear have almost stopped doing them

So that leaves Pirelli

I used to run the P Zeros on my 3000GT, but that was a much heavier car, I was under the impression that that is what they were designed for??

edited to say that they worked exceptionally well on the GT!!
