Pirelli Nero Tyres

[adamjp]

Does anyone have any experience with the Pirelli P-Zero Neros?

I can get them for just a little more than the Yokohama A539s. I know the A539s have an almost cult-like following here, but I am always willing to consider alternatives.

i'm only going on what my tyre dealers tell me adam, but they all reckon the P zeros are a good tyre, & from what i've handled in my deliveries they look & feel good, very strong sidewall & agressive tread pattern

got 'em, love 'em! Be careful though, the Nero's were superceded by the Rosso's which I believe are quite inferior, so if your dealer has some they could be qute old stock. Let me know how much he's quoting - I might want some more....

good point dog.........all pirelli tyres for aus come out of sydney tho & the zeros i've seen are still showing 05 build dates, maybe they are running them side by side with the rossos for a while

I did not get exact prices, but my local JAX indicated $270ish a rim. The A539s are around $240.

This is for a 215/40-16.

Bigdog, got some news for you - the Rosso model is not available in the same sizes as the Nero, much like the C-Drive/A539 they may be keeping the Nero on to fill the 'odd' (read small) sizes.

Great Tyre......I run them on my Audi TT Quattro and they are fantastic.
I have used Yok's, Dunlops and Goodyear which which worn very quickly.
The TT is really heavy on Fronts and the Nero's just take it + they have a realatively low wear rating (220) about they same as the Falken 615's so there soft.......but wear great.

Grip and feel are superior to the mentioned others as well.

Thanks
