Tyre (specifically Pirelli) Confusion!

[sydown]

I went for the Pirelli P-Zero Rosso and to be fair I can't fault them, I don't think there is a great deal of dry/wet grip difference between them and the PS2's I replaced.

Not tried them on the track.

The Rosso's seem to be wearing at a reasonable rate so no complaints!!

Think I paid just over £850 for the set in standard CSL sizes.

I run Goodyears Eagle F1's Assy II and they are perfect, managed to get them from love tyres for something silly like £700 in CSL sizes before the trip, might be worth a look.

These cars need some good shoe's, I would personally go with SS or Eagle F1's for everyday use. Cups totally transform the car.

Falken 452 £400+vat a set and great in the wet :whistle:

I'll second this as run a set before which last me over 3 years and 18k miles. Not too shabby on track too.

had a long chat the other day with the UK head of technical @ Michelin ... interesting insight into the cups & SS

Basically he said , he got his tyres free so could choose any of them but he would always fit the SuperSports to a CSL that spent any time on the road. The SS outperformed the cup in all areas except for that last 5% on a track.

Hmmm... hard to beat driving a CSL on Cups though, I have to say. Maybe for long M'Way stuff, SS's would be 'more comfortable' but for Sunday runs, has to be Cups all day long. :thumbs:

As said £1200 is too much for Super sports,you can get them a lot cheaper than that.
