Just bought my first Scooby, Its a 2000 W. Its got a new set of Perelli PZeros on it are they any good. If not What are the best all round tyre for life and grip. Im an old boy so won't be pushing too hard.

Cheers The dog.

They'll probably do you if you aint gonna use the Scooby to full effect.

I've just changed from Pirellis to Eagle F1's. Bit early yet, but the F1's grip much better. Had Toyo's before which were better than the PZeros but not as good as the F1's, but they are so much cheaper and better value for money.

How many types of P-Zero are there? I run the Corsa as a control tyre on track (and occasional use on road, when dry ). They are very nice for something street legal.

Bloody rubbish with standing water, but to be expected. Actually very good if the road is just 'wet'.

I had Pzeros for the last year and don't rate them in the wet. Have just changed to Yokohama AVS Sports on recommendation of a friend with a Scoob and they seem really good so far - not pushed them in the wet yet but normal driving in the wet seems good.

A lot of guys on this board rate the GSD3's & F1's.

Currently I'm running 18" P Zero Nero's supplied as standard fitment on Prodrive FF7's and I've found them to be pretty good. Much better steering feel and turn in than the 17" Bridgestones beforehand and I've got nowhere near their grip limit yet.

Thumbs down

I had the P Zero Rosso's and ditched them for F1's. Goodyear much much better in the wet.

Dunno about river crossings, fording etc but I've found the P-Zero Nero to be a good compromise of handling, wet perormance and comfort. They are nice and quiet Not as aggresive/sharp as some other tyres tho...

Have to agree with listy, Asemetrico's v good in dry & when pushed really hard they brake away progressively, When in the wet they make for stylish exits from roundabouts under boost.
