3 series touring - tyres / P zero
Discussion
Morning all you BMW types. Rare is it that I stray here from other parts of this parish but I seek your assistance.
My boss has just changed his car for a 53 plate 320 Touring. It's fitted with almost new P-Zero tyres on the original rims. He has terrible trouble with it tramlining and feeling very unstanble when lane changing. He says it handles and rides fine otherwise.
He's had the geometry checked at his local Stealer and they have said that all is well, but the tyres are not recommended for his vehicle. He has checked on the Pirelli site and they come up as the rights ones for his vehicle.
Couple of questions,
1. Are they right and will the P-Zeros be awful until they are worn out / changed?
2. Are they particularly sentistive to pressures, if so, what should they be run at.
All advice received with thanks and I shall scuttle back to the Alfa / Radical / Lounge with cap doffed.
