current Gallardo tyre choices

[monkeysandbears]

So the Gallardo is getting on a bit now but there must still be a lot of owners out there!

I need some tyres for mine and to be honest i have never been impressed by the OEM P Zeros. I know some owners have changed to the Michelins which seems to work fine!

Given that Lamborghini teamed up with Yokohama for last years GT super series and won it i have emailed Yokohama to see if they can recommend a Yoko tyre. I have had Yokos on other cars and found them to be much better than most - certainly better than the P Zeros fitted at the moment.

I wondered f anyone had fitted anything other than the Pirellis or Michelins?

i'm happy with p zeros

the p zero corsas are the ones to avoid when it's cold or wet

car is still very sensitive to geometry and tyre wear

I now have Toyos all round on mine and after 12 months and about 3k miles very pleased with them.

i ran Cup 2's which dramatically improved turn in at the expense of an even harder ride!

Well the P Zeros in the 235x35 are not available anywhere. I can get the rears but not the fronts. Did you have any diff issues with the Toyos? the make good tyres and i could be tempted?

You won't do much better than Michelin PS4S, they are streets ahead of the P Zero.

Pzero imho are dreadful, PS4S transformed it

I agree on the P zeros. I see that quite a few people are running the Michelins in the US and get great reviews. Have you had any issues at all?

[markiii]

none whatever, totally recommend them

Sorry, late to this. Ran L-marked P Zeros for years. Now changed to P4S. Vast improvement in all conditions. Subjectively, slightly more nervous in heavy rain but I suspect that they’re objectively better there too.

127,200 miles now, for what it’s worth……
