Hello,

My current tyres are Pirelli PZero Rosso's which I've actually been pretty happy with so i'm decided to stick with them (225x45xR17-91W).

I thought choosing replacement tyres of the same make/model was going to be straight forward until I punched in the tyre specs into the 'www.etyres.co.uk'.

• For the 'W' speed rating whichn is what I need I get a model called Pzero Rosso 'Extra Load' - and i don't see the latter label anywhere on my tyres....
• In order to get the standard Pzero's they come up as 'Y' rated which are a bit cheaper.
• Treads (from the pictures) look exactly the same.

Does anyone with tyre brand knowledge know what the difference is here and does it matter. I don't want to go and stick the wrong rubber on if its going to ruin my good handling.


Comments appreciated.

i have got p-zero nero which are really good. Best price for 18inch 225/45 I think on internet was about £130-140. Went to local quick-fit who beat best price at £125 fitted each. I ahd 2 fitted from stock, was home within 30mins.
