Pirelli P-Zero Corsa

[Danny]

Rob, thanks for your post. What P zero corsa sizes did you have fitted to your 3200? I have done some searching in the past but I don't remember being able to find the correct sizes for the standard 18 inch wheels. It was the original tyre for the AC but I believe Pirelli ceased to produce certain size ranges of the p zero corsa since 2001/2002?

No idea about GS as only been a passenger,but I can vouch for the P-Zero Corsa an a 3200.

Awesome.
My car was a buking bronco on any other tyres, spinning up the rears, aquaplaning and generally trying to kill me. In an exciting and fun way

Fitted corsa tyres, beofre european road trip. Tackled the infamous stelvio pass (and many others), with melt water streaming down the road form 4 feet high snow at the roadside. All grip, no slip and I mean hard acelleration, not even spinning up an inside wheel. 3000 miles later we are back at home and still driving confidently in wet, cold UK conditions.

My car is transformed and will live on these tyres in future. I too had my doubts after hearing all the stories, but this is my real world reportage. Any other drivers had them fitted?

Thanks a lot . Not sure if they are still currently available in the correct sizes for the GS though, as the current Pirelli website does not list the the right size for the back tyres. Maybe there is still stock remaining?

Kind regards,
Felix

I used the standard sizes - will double check on my car tonight or maybe find the online invoice.
The company I bought from were great, going to a lot of trouble to first find the corsa tyres for the rear, then find directional P-zero for the fronts.

I know this post was not directed towards me. Correct me if I am wrong, you purchased based on what was left, not what was being produced?

Kind regards,

As I understand it my tyres are fresh rather than old stock, but will confirm once I see theM physically later.
Mine are just the 18" items, so perhaps still in production?

 

[rs48635]

Just found online invoice from EasyWheels.co.uk costing £748.79 all in, including fitting at my excellent local tyre shop Regis Motors (Houghton Regis)
The guys asked why I needed them in such a hurry, and donated £25 to the charity that our European rally was raising funds for!

Rear 265/35/18 97/Y P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico

Front 235/40/18 91/Y P Zero Rosso

Thanks Rob. So, you only have the Corsa tyres fitted to the rear wheels and not to the front?

 

[Danny]

At the moment of introduction of the AC, it also had corsa tyres fitted to the front, as can clearly be seen in the press release pack pics

great shot.
can tyres look sexy?

That is correct, the AC had them as standard all round, I believe. I couldn't find any, but have Zero Rosso all round on mine. It handled track well in them, and as an all rounder I am happy.
