My Gransport has eaten its way through its first set of rear tyres since I picked it up last summer. It has Pirelli P-Zeros on it at the moment which I've been happy with, so unless there's a good reason to change I'd like to replace like with like.

I'm having difficulty finding Z rated 265/30/19 tyres online. Any recommendations for where to look and how much to pay?

The fronts still have 5-6mm left so I'll leave them for now. The rears are down to 3mm and getting a bit hairy in the wet.

Seconded. A tyre that works exceptionally on these cars whereas PZ's don't so if you have been happy with them you will be blown away with the Goodyears.

Think they are onto F3 now with limited stock of F2 dependant on tyre size!! But yep, seems a good tyre!

If I'm switching to the Goodyears I should replace all four?

I would as the issue with the Pzero on the 19" GS rims is they split the sidewall when hitting potholes.

You should be able to sell your old ones for £80 on eBay and they are only £100 each from tyreleader or other such online suppliers.

The weather over here in Spain is obv very diff to the UK... I was going to upgrade my fronts first due to a puncture and the Pilot's where my initial choice.

Agree. Mine split last month. Hard to get hold of new ones as they appear to be custom to Maserati. Had the same issue with the Macan. Summer tyres I have o n it are custom to Porsche and were a 12 day order from a local shop or 4 days and an eye gauge at Porsche.

I've just switched from P-Zero's to the Super Sports, and have been very surprised at how much extra grip I have. So much more confidence in high speed cornering. Would fully recommend them! Managed to get the full set fitted for 650, which is cheaper than I get them through work

Another nod for Goodyear F1s, very good all round tyre.

Not tried the new Michelin but suspect there's not a lot between them and the Goodyear.

Changed the FF tyres from Pzeros to Pliot Super Sports and could not believe how much better it could feel. No more tram lining, not that it was very noticeable, but much more planted feel.

I have established Pirelli have phased out the 265 PZero Rosso's and having difficulty establishing consensus on best alternative, for my Gransport.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (maserati original recommendation?) or Goodyear Eagle Assym F3's?

Prefer not to downgrade to Falkens

Any update on previous advise would be appreciated

Have to agree and it's what most of us run myself included.

The Pzero does just not suit the characteristics of the GS as the stiffened sidewalls make the experience very harsh and potholes end up splitting the tyres.

The GS magnesium wheels are soft and prone to cracking too.

The softer compound and relaxed sidewall of the F1 transform the ride and handle better on the UK mixed road surfaces imho as less feedback comes back through the steering.

In the wet, the F1's are stunning too.

I put Pilot Supersports on mine last Autumn and they are very good indeed, but do need some heat in them. I was only going to get PSS's or Goodyear F1's, but couldn't source a matching set of the latter so only had one choice. At the time, Goodyear had released the front size in the F1 Assym 3's but were 2 weeks away from releasing the rear size so only had the 2's left. I think you'll with either of the choices.
