I installed these two weeks ago, and after trimming the inside of the rear wheel arches and pulling the fronts, they are on! I have got to say that the 18" Pirelli's have a MUCH better ride than the economy 17's I had on before - more compliant, less crashy and noisy. I am very surprised that they have made so much difference..Have any other members experienced this type of result?

Yep, tyres aren't just about grip. Ride quality is often overlooked.

You'll find most Pirellis exhibit superior aspects compared to other tyres. You do get what you pay for.

Amen. PZero Nero's in 245 outgrip, outbrake and are quieter than the 275 K104s i have now.

quality over quantity (in this case width) any day.

Yeah, crap I wish i had have realised that before i got my tyre/wheel combo.

I have some bob jane 'xenon' tyres, and they tram line pretty badly. I though it was my busted bushes, but seems it may be the tyres and their •••• side walls.

Oh wells. At least I have a matching set rather than 3 wheels and the spare. :-)

That's funny, I have 19" on one car with Pirelli P-Zeros and the damn car tramlines like a freight train.

So Lawrence are they P-Zero Nero or P-Zero Rosso?

I don't think they make a combo.

I have Neros on my car and they are pretty good.
I used Nitrogen in them at the start but after skidding all over the place I removed it again. It's all good now.

I think Pirelli started making a non Pzero range of the Nero and Rosso names, with the price adjusted for not having that delicious little bit of yellow writing that says 'PZero'....

Benny, I am in Baltimore (USA) at the moment, so I'm unable to check, but if I recall correctly they are Nero Rosso.

There are Zero Nero (zero black) and Zero Rosso (zero red) but no Nero Rosso (black red). They also have Asimmetrico and Direzionale in the P Zero range.

I use to have 20inch P-Zero Asimmetrico, even with such a low profile, they are more comfortable than my current 18inch Kumho's, and they felt more direct with the control as well.

Possibly a TT, but most likely an SC400 V8
