Anyone using Pirelli? Have to buy a four new corners and was tinkering with the idea of a change from Toyo. If no good plus points for Pirelli, who is doing best deals on full set of T1s at minute?

Just swapped from 16" wheels/Toyo's to 17" wheels/Pirelli PZeros. Pirellis are quieter, same in the dry but much worse than in the wet.
Due to having ScoobySport exhaust I'm not concerned about noise, and due to the fact that there seems to be more rain in the UK these days, I'll be returning to Toyo's once these Pirellis wear out.

www.mytryes.net is about as cheap as you get. £293 (delivered) for 4x 205/50/16 and about a tenner more for 215/40/17 (although I don't see them listed at the moment). Then it's about £30 to fit at a local garage (which mytyres will kindly deliver to).

Hope this helps.

P.S. Apparently Goodyear Eagle F1's are the best for Scoobys but over £100 dearer, so IMO not worth it.

They will do you a top price on Toyos.

Cheers guys, will give both a call. Gotta say I'm surprised that Pirelli don't perform that well!!! Or that might be just 'coz the Rally Team use Pirelli?
