Smile NEW TYRES?

At the moment I have Pirelli zero nero 215 45 17 on my 04 wrx ppp,they need renewing,are these ok or should I go for a different make? Something like g/y eagle f1 or vredestein sessenta. Any advice welcome, Mick.

F1's or Toyo T1-R's would be my choice, but everyone has their favourite.

I've just checked with my local dealer, vredestein are about £105 plus vat each! Pirelli zero nero's about £83 plus vat, does this sound about right? Mick.

Fitted ? if you want just supply and then get fitted locally, its best to shop around.

Mocom Racing had a cracking deal on these tyres recently, worth a call.

Prices include fitting but probally not balance or valves, Mick.

Lol, a fitted price has to include valves and should also include balancing..!

Fo 225/40 18's Zak (Mocom) recently quoted me £94 delivered (£84+10 p+p) for the Verdestein's.

There's obviously local fitting to go on that (~£10/corner) so about £104 all in.

Which, is basically what I've been quoted locally for the new GY F1 asymmetric's (£107)..!

Lol, still undecided which to go for..!

The only thing I would recommend apart from the tyres, if you like the P zero's then keep to them is to have the tracking done at the same time as you change all 4? tyres

Cheers, I've only had the car for about a month, not long to judge them as they are half worn. Would my local tyre shop be ok for the alignment or would I need to go to Powerstation? Mick.
