PIRELLI P ZERO NERO yay or nay?

yesterday i discovered that both of my front tyres have nails lodged in them! therefore i need to buy some new ones, from what i have read on FF the PIRELLI P ZERO NERO are the better choice over the standard BRIDGESTONE RE050A POTENZA. i was just wondering other peoples thoughts on them. I.E. general ware & tare over milage etc etc.

i have found them on this website fully fitted and balanced for just over £223, is this a good price (bearing in mind i have a family friend that im going to see tomorrow to see what he can do).

http://www.bestbuytyres.co.uk/Home.aspx any body used them before?/

i only have done 6000m on the potenza's so im not too happy, and the back tyres have yet to be checked

Do a Search on Tyres... this has been done to death. Pay what you want for your perceived value, personally my Sumo Firenzas at £50 per corner are top value for money, in every way. But then I am no tyre snob.

thats why im asking as when i look at website's they only seem to come up with the top brands and i dont know whats good and whats bad tbh. i have also searched about tyres this is how i came across the pirelli's but the threads dont have much info on what they are actually like for ware and tare and how long roughly they last, etc. which is why i asked..

Thats cool... enter Sumo tyres into Google. My 2 on the front have covered 15k miles now and have about a third life left in them, no problems with grip wet or dry. Rear Potenzas (originals are about half worn but do seem puncture prone, 4 in 12 months, whereas the Sumos have never "let me down" so to speak. Worth a try for £100 or so fitted I think?

they are good but wear quick.
try toyo proxey t16 they are good but last longer
get mine from www.mytyres.co.uk

I dispute that Dave TBH as mentioned in my Post above... or did u mean the Pirrellis wear quick?

ill look into them both cheers!

Pirrellis wear quick

Toyo proxes 4 are the only ones i can see, are these the ones?/

Try here http://www.sumotire.com/passenger.htm

what size you putting in?

205/45 R17 88V what it says in the manual

ive already looked on there website but, they dont have the same speed rating they are W and it says it should be V. does this matter?

crap fiat odd uncommon size syndrome.
change the lot to 205/40/17

and you can go up a speed rating z w y but never down

Cheers again!

what about the number being diffrent 88V is what fiat says but those toyos are 84W is that still ok? lol sorry dont know much about tires!
