Not Happy Sticky Tyres

My 159 ti seems to love the pirelli P zero nero tyres, so much so that it looks like I will need 4 come my first service in august, I've only covered 8400 miles since new and I don't try to pull 5 G into the corners, I understand that ultra high performance tyres don't last for ever but at under 10000 miles front and back seems like it's going to cost £900 a year just for rubber............................

Re: Sticky Tyres

What ive heard is that the p zero is a little over priced

Try
Tyres 40% Cheaper than leading tyres depots, free mobile tyre fitting
or Tyres online @ Blackcircles.com: discount tyre dealers for car tyres, 4x4 and motorbike tyres to save a few pounds on your new tyres, ive found e tyre to be fantastic

Re: Sticky Tyres

Have been looking for the couple of weeks and it looks like nobody manufactures harder compound tyres for 19" wheels, which seems obvious really! if I had got 2 years out of them it wouldn't be as bad the wife is not hp as she's still pining after the GT we chopped it for the Ti but it's got to be the best Alfa I,ve owned so far out of 5

Re: Sticky Tyres

Oh dear! That makes road tax look cheap. Don't tell Gordon and Alistair or they'll treat Alfa's asa special case for higher tax.

Re: Sticky Tyres

gone through 3 pairs of tyres in a year through wear only done nearly and a odd one was needed last week when i noticed a massive nail 12500 miles! i never learn about 1/4 inch away from tyre wall. it has only done 1000. cost me £1155 in 13 months! spirited and enthusiastic driving with a lead foot = fun (and money)
