Exclamation

My two front S02's finally cornered their last corner this morning as one went down bigtime with a puncture

Decided to swap the 4 for a set of Pirelli's I had sitting in my garage that I bought for a pittance

Anyone got any good or bad things to say about P7000's?
215*40*17 is my size if that makes any odds

Had P7000s on my last car - an Alfa. Fine in the dry, not too bad when the road was really wet. Not good on a damp road/in light rain as they tended to understeer quite badly (okay, the car was FWD as well but even taking that into account...).

Cool

Well, what can I say

Not pushed them in the wet yet, but I can honestly say these don't let go in the dry like my S02's did.
Nice tight roundabout on the way to work, use to get 4 wheel drift on the S02's (which was fun) Today with the P7000's the car held a tight line while flooring it in 2nd gear

They get my vote (in the dry anyway...)
