Tyre choice

[mmarksx19]

I have a 2009 Continental Flying Spur Speed with 275/35R20 wheels.
The current tyres (rears are wearing out) are all Pirelli PZero and I believe have the B mark for Bentley.

I have seen these with a B mark, a B1 mark, recommended for merc, jag or with no markings all at different prices!


What does the manufacturers mark mean and what is the difference between B and B1?


Also, are these the tyres people recommend? I have read posts that they do not wear well (not long had my car so can't comment on how long they lasted) so what do others use?


Many thanks,


Michael

Thanks for the responses. Took your advice and purchased 2xPirelli PZero B1 tyres (specifically for the Bentley). Shopped around and got them for just over £205 each fitted. Please with that. a £60 saving over black circles for the 2 tyres. That's half a tank of petrol!!!!

I used Tyresavings.com if anybody wants to know.

Never seen the BL tyres - maybe they are only available from dealers?

The B1 tyres I bought seem to be recommended and the handbook states B or their replacement - as you say, B1

Wish I'd known about Camskill. £184 per tyre there (plus fitting), that's £20 per tyre cheaper than I paid, even if tyre fitting is £10 per wheel, still cheaper.
Worth bearing in mind next time I need tyres.
