Tyres again...

[SimonCC]

I need to replace the rear tyres and I've decided I will stick with Pirellis which are already on the car..

Currently the car has 'Y' rated tyres (so can handle speeds upto 186MPH ). I'm thinking what the **** just stick 'Y's on again even though it's meaningless when talking about these speeds. Just wondered if others have stuck to 'Y's or gone for 'Z' rated which are only good upto 150MPH+ or 'W' rated upto 168MPH...?

Also, has anybody fitted Asimmetrico tyres which are more expensive. Are they worth the extra bucks?

I did think about going with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 or 3s, but as I've also got P Zeros Rossos on the front will stick with Pirelli.

Cheers, Simon

If you have the 19" wheels, the following are awesome:

2x PZero Silver 245/35 ZR19 93Y XL
2x PZero Silver 275/30 ZR19 96Y XL

Double thumbs up (after much searching). They are a size up, but no noticeable impact on turn in.

If anybody else is after Pirelli P Zero Rosso ZR N4 rear tyres I managed to get a couple from ATS - other tyre firms including some of the online companies struggled to source the ZR N4 spec for some reason.

I've been offerd 4 PZero's for £300 so might just taken them up on that!

Phil have they got 4 more and maybe give a keener price ?

Phil there are 4 or 5 different variations on P Zeros - I found the plain P Zeros are about £145ish; the Rossos are more expensive though, anywhere from £190+ a side...

OK Simon mine has the Rossos.
