Getting in a tizz over tyres.

1. Sticking with P Zero. My driving style doesn’t dictate anything else :oops:

2. Could someone please get me a link to the actual tyres I need to buy to suit my car & alloys?

Have looked on many sites but unable to select tyres specific to my car. No option for ZR etc.

Please help, it’s driving me crackers!

Go onto Black circles, plug in your reg and it'll give you the sizes for both 19 and 20 inch wheels.

Then buy Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. They're approximately a million times better than the P Zeros (approximately).

What he said ^^^

I’ve just put your reg no into Blackcircles - not sure if you’re 19 or 20 inch, but there’s plenty there.
Don’t worry about them not stating ZR.

Oh, and Michelin’s all the way - totally, 100% worth the little extra you pay!

Don't even consider the Pirellis' the Michelin transform the handling regardless of your driving style.

You can do the same sort of search on several of the big tyre sites such as Oponeo. Just put in the reg. confirm rim size and you get the prices of supply or supply and fit

Interesting question about driving style not dictating tyre. Pirelli is only recommended as part of a cosy marketing deal with JLR. That aside I have the 4s too and they are awesome tyres and if I’m headed to a corner in this type of car I’m up for good tyres :)

We don’t seem big on humour here but this loosely related image made me smile today:

Very funny ... but to be fair, the Coupe was very predictable (even on OEM Pirellis) ... wasn’t even c;one to swapping so never got the chance to try the Michelins .... funny how times change, ... just a decade ago on another forum there wasn’t a good word to be said about Michelins .... but plenty of other comments ... such as ..

- caring drivers wont let friends drive on Michelins
- don’t mix MIchelins and water
- if you have a backache, don’t fit MIchelins unless you want surgery

And there were many more ....

I come from £40 a corner Chinese specials on my Vauxhall Vivaro. P Zero’s are plenty enough 😄

Ordered. Thank you TimG. I’m confident I’ve ordered the correct ones 👍

Just ordered a set of Michelin 4S's for my R coupe. Getting them fitted on Thursday. Can't wait to get rid of these Pirelli's. No confidence in the wet weather we seem to have at the moment.
