Pirelli P Zero Rosso or Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - road use?

[ultimagtr-ger]

Hello,

This year I need new tyres for my Ultima GTR (LS2).
What would you recommend for sportive road use (200 MPH) - no track days?

Pirelli P Zero Rosso Asimmetrico or Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 (245/35 R18 and 335/30 R18)?

Thanks!

Regards
Oliver

I have used both types on my different cars and find that the SP2 lasts longer, it makes less road noise and doesn't have tendency to tramline on used road surfaces when the tread wears out. Price is similar for both (at least here). The Michelin is perhaps a bit softer and comfortable the the PZero. The PZero may have a touch more grip in the dry when warmed up though

The Pzero C or corsa has even more grip!

PS2, softer and more grip.

Pilot sport 2 is the way to go for road usage.
I used them on a midengined car traveling from Holland to France on a weekly basis for more than 5 years.
Flawless also good grip in the wet, low noise, and they lasted for 30000miles on average.

You are right and works very well when nice and warm and having found the best tyre pressure hot

Mine were as said, long stretches of highway, that makes a huge difference.

Drove the Pilot sport 2 on my GT3rs, very good tire

I had Pirelli P Zero on the GTW mainly because I got them at a fantastic price but I would not recommend them, they are too hard a compound to use on a car that weighs just over a ton. The PS2 is softer for sure and I would choose them out of the two.

Hello,

I want to have a huge amount of grip on curvy country roads and Autobahn high speed (200 MPH) and to be able to carefully drive in the rain.

It looks like I will buy Michein Pilot Sport PS2 or Pirelli PZero CORSA.

Did anyone use the Pirelli PZero CORSA on a lightweight car like Ultima?

Thanks
