    AndyMac Better than you

    Well with the impending trip to Armidale, and my ever decreasing tread, I picked up 4 new shoes to roll around on.

    Pirelli PZERO Corsa Systems.

    235 40 18 - front
    295 30 18 - rear

    * don't mention the camber, arms are coming in the next day or so.
    ** sorry bout the crap image, phone image :rolleyes:

    Nice looking tread. Those 295's seem to fill the wheels perfect (I don't understand the stretched tire look, personally).
    Assuming you have deleted HICAS?

    NICE!!
    So they have a left rear & a right rear tyre? (different tread design for each) super flash!!
    I had a play with my new shoes today - but that's another thread :) (not as flash as yours!)

    Thanks man. Yeah, they are assimetrical, so can't swap edges unfortunately, which means I need to sort my camber out, as these are super soft. Pirelli equivilant of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Semi's.

    btw, what rims and in what size / offset to run tyres that size do you have? did you have to modify anything?

    Cheers

    I was eyeing these out myself

    I even called the guy yesterday morning to ask him a few questions.
    In the end he convince me not to get them as he said they were not suitable for street use. Yet my research said they're ok for street just borderline.

    With a wear rating of 60 I'm not really upset I missed out on them. Funny thing is I was thinking of you when I first noticed these tyres on ebay.

    I'll be going back to Sumitomo HTR Z III 295-30-18, I'm quite happy with them for the price.

    I sent tirerack an email yesterday, I'm looking to get 2 sets for the rear.
