was wondering if anyone runs these tyres or whos anyone that does? Are they anygood? This offer is only for a few days so just trying to guage an opinion of them

thanks

Roscoe

Very very good tyres, excellent in wet, I can only say one bad thing about them....they are damn noisy

ChuBBz

One of my best mate's gotta EL fairmont ghia and he bought those tyres about at the start of the year...
Because theyre a "Sport" tyre.. they eat away tread alot easier than other tyres.
When your turning.. u can hear the tread grip onto the ground sometimes.
My mate said he doesnt recommend them and will opt for a cheaper harder compound tyre next time around.

Hope this helps

I guess the price is right! They had them on the XR's when they first came out..They did wear fairly quick.Like 12,000 Klms..B.T.A for $130.00 you can't realy go wrong...

That's about the cheapest I've seen them. They are a very good tyre.

I've got those on my car at the moment - they feel pretty good - when they do go it's progressive. They are noisy. As far as wear goes they seem ok so far - certainly HEAPS better than the Dunlop FM901's.

MrPlow2

noisy yes...
wear, well, i drove the car harder with my pirellis than what i did when i had dunlops and the pirellis lasted just a bit longer (about 25k)

overall - if you can put up with the noise, GET THEM!

i'll be forking out more money to get pirelli rubber when my tyres are up for replacement.

The only tyre I will use in 225x50x16. They are far and away the best performing rubber I have owned. I haven't tried the P6000 in that size, but I would guess it wouldn't be a backward step from the P5000.

In short, for that price, GET THEM!!!!!!! :s6:

TurboDOHC

well it looks like they are the go!

Just out of curiosty the other special offer was on a GT Radial GTX tyres for $125 a pop. Anyone know anything on these tyres apart from the fact they are less noisy and not as sports orientated?

The noise issue is of a concern, but hopefully becuase my wheels arent big and i have a sports exhaust it should be ok, but the performance of the tyre will more than make up for it

For those interested and who live in Geelong- head to Lewis Tyre Service for great deals on all size Pirellie's

Thanks for the help!

I have them on my XF and they are brilliant in the wet. Have to fully open it up to get a little wheel spin in the wet now. As for the noise, I'm either use to it or its not that noisy.

I think I paid a tad more than what you got quoted but that was about a year or so ago.

Cheers
Matt
