Probably done before but,

Currently run P Zeros apparently N1 ( ? )

I need 3 new tyres and my dealer has no or cant get any N1 types, He has offered N2 or N3 and said I should not match the 1 off N1 with N2 or N3.

Im therefore working on the basis I need all 4 changed.

Im happy to stay with P Zeros but would like advise on the N2 / N3 , are these siutable for the Scooby ?

Also I want to consider others, dealer suggested Bridgestone S03 or make Rossi ( I think )

Any comments suggestions appreciated, Im looking to pay around the same price ( £ 105 approx fitted currently )

I dont really drive the car to any kinda limit around corners but like straight line accelration.

Need to have fitted by early next week and probably have to order tommorrow so comments today if poss please.

Regards

Most people seen to have a downer of late on the P Zero - I'm happy ebough with the PZ Assimetrico on my 99MY but will probably try the new Goodyear Eagle F1s next - there's a lot a good word on here and elsewhere about them - and they're quiet, unlike the Toyo Proxes which were otherwise good.

I assume that they are 225/40ZR18 as they are Porsche tyres. What car are they fitted to?

The dealer always refered to them as being porsche tyres, currently fitted to MY98 Terzo.

Should I not have had the N1 P Zero on anyway then ?

I was told today that although the Toyos are expensive they are at the bottom end of the market !! ??

They offered me Bridgestone ER30 instead of the SO3.

You need to watch the load rating on Porsche tyres as it may not be high enough for some Impreza fitments.

As they are 40 profile they must be a bit of a squeeze in the rear arches as well!
