It just happened to poor down rain for a little bit today but was very wet enough for me to test it out. Wet grip is also very good but i did manage to make VSC blink a little while doing some spirited cornering. This is due to not breaking in the tyres yet so i expect it to be a hell lot more grippy after first 1000kms done.
Overall - highly recommended and bang for buck tyres!
whats it like compared to the pirelli p1?
Never had P1 in any of my cars before so can't say. But my friend has M3 which has PZeros as oem and the m3 community has widely raved about these same tyres compared to the pzeros.Quote:

I've spoken to the dealer about them a few times and all I get is differing responses such as the rear negative camber causes them to wear unevenly & that they are a soft compound high grip tyre which makes them suseptible to uneven wear. I don't want to replace them any earlier than I have to, as it just doesn't make any economical sense to so, however they drive me crazy with the constant excessive noise. If I wait till their worn out I may be waiting for ever at the current wear rate. When I do eventually get my next tyres, the No. 1 consideration will be very low noise level, I couldn't give a damn about the grip, thats what the VSC is for. Anyway just wanted to vent about these crap tyres. Not enjoying my ride for some time now.Quote:

Perhaps find someone who doesn't care about noise and sell it to them or find someone who does track a lot or drifting and sell them your old set to get new set?
Euro has a sort of annoying size for tires as they are quite rare and almost always pay a slight premium. My Michelin HP were still meaty after 50000kms but they have completely dried up and was some stress cracks developing on the edges (although I do basically drive it like a race car). I had a set of Nankang NS2 put on for $160 fitted a corner which was a pretty decent deal, although if you can take advantage of the bridgestone deal 4 for 3, you'll have better quality tires.Quote:
