Ok
Went the Michelin route as they assured me the 4and 4s could be mixed as long as both the same on front or rear axles
Only driven a couple of hundred miles but it transforms the car , so much quieter and far less random steerage , they are officially more directional and whoever persuaded Alfa to fit pirrelli s
te tyres as std must have a huge bung as it gave a great car so much poor press

Did you go a size up (215/245) or stick with 205/235?Went the Michelin route as they assured me the 4and 4s could be mixed as long as both the same on front or rear axles

Asking because I'm looking to change my tyres to the same (but also go up a size to 215/245 combo)

Kept original sized tyres , car steers with more confidence and feels as responsive and noticeably quieter . I will need to push it on once the tyres have settled and the mould oil has rubbed off to see where the limit is Is the ride more/less comfortable? Is it still just as responsive?

I definitely think they are better, more grip and quieter. However I did swap for the 17/18 wheels from the 18/19 at the same time so overall feels really good. Going to put 10 front and 25 rear spacers on as well. Read lots of good stuff about them and aesthetically will look great.

Would definitely agree they are better, whether they have more grip or not the car is more predictable therefore it gives you the confidence to push harder on the uneven pot holed tracks we call roads . On a track which is generally smoother the Pirreli may have more grip but if your looking for track tyres there are better anyway Gassing Station | Alfa Romeo, Fiat & Lancia | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
