New Tire Choices (or not)

[V12V Vancouver]

Hello all - it's been a while. The time has come to buy new tires for the V12 Vantage, currently adorned with the fast wearing Pirelli P Zero Corsas (22,000 kms). My first choice for a replacement was Michelin Super Sports - however, they are not available for the foreseeable future here in Vancouver (well, the rear tires are not available - they are on back order and no-one knows when they will have sufficient orders to warrant production). My second choice was Pirelli P Zero - however, same problem, as the rear tires are not available. The only full set of tires that are available in this former colony are the Continental Contipro Contact P5 tires. I would be interested in any comments, observations, experiences from those of you who may have had experience with these tires as to their efficacity on a V12V. The reviews seem rather positive, but who knows.

Thank you in advance for your pithy insights......

I have them on my vantage due to the same reasons you mention.. But to be honest they are great wet or dry fantastic grip, road noise no more than the previous Pirelli I had and 7000 miles in wearing very well. Great tyre at a good price

I have 5P's on my DBS. Great tires.

I just ordered the Michelins pilot super sport by Canadian tire!!! unbelievable just order them online. I just did ast week for my db9.

Also the vredestein tires are very nice i tried to get them for the db9 but i could not get them but prefer them tho. I have the vredestein's on my Jag XKR and love them. Maybe you can get them in Vancouver there called ULTRAC VORTI from vredestein.

This is what i paid for the Michelins at canadian tire.
