Pirelli P-ZeroMichelin Pilot Sport 3, likes them before, was also OE on my Clubsport when new (pilot sport 2 was)Bridgestone Potenza, best looking of the bunchThey're all around the same price, and all have similar reviews and grip levels ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNotJon Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have the Pilot Sport 3's, not used the other brands but I am finding them superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macp Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 The Potenzas are awesome had them on an alfa 155 sport. Would also recommend Michelin Primacy if they do them for your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee330Ci Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 The PS3's, I have pzeros on the e92 and they're horrible! I've got the back end stepping out with damp roads, the PS3's had so much grip in all weather. forbesy1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Got potenzas on my e30 and struggle to get the back end out in the damp, which was always easy to do on the previous (very old, so not comparable to modern ones) good years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black7 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 best I ever had was sport cup 2 . £280 each best in the world... you are winner in that base even if m.pilot is half as good I could have them over Potenza but I had %35 trade discount for Potenza only.............maybe next time I buy pilot sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichS Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Pilot Sport 3's without a doubt. Just put these on my 255/35 rears and the car feels and behaves amazingly. Black Circles for the best price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalaugh Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks for all the replies, I placed an order with black circles today.£438 for a set of Pirelli P-Zero225-40-18 & 255-35-18Good price I think, have always fancied a set of these so will see how they go [emoji106]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Man Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Good tyres, had them on both the e46 and X3, but get a lot noisier as they wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The PS3's are the best tyre there, but I'd also look at Goodyear Eagle F1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermitthefrog Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Good tyres, had them on both the e46 and X3, but get a lot noisier as they wearI wouldn't settle for anything other than F1's anymore - best all rounder in my book.Just realised I quoted the wrong post?!

avalaugh Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 To be honest all the top brands seem pretty dam good these days.It came down to price and looks in the end.I will say though i deliberately avoided the Goodyear Eagle F1's, I have them on my BMW 120, and while they work perfectly on the road, the sidewalls are visibly softer than MICHELIN, BRIDGESTONE or PIRELLI options.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edges Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I highly rate the eagle f1's as they take such a pasting on track and still perform faultlessly on the road. Potenza are great if you get re050a, or re070 for more track day tyre. Any other potenza's just seem very hard and not much grip. Pilot sport 3 are possibly the best tyre I've used, and I've used a lot! I do have a soft spot for p zero, not the Nero though. Proper p zero's just work so well and have a nice looking tread pattern. At at the end of the day they're all good, just depends which suit your driving.

lptguy Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well if your looking for superb grip in the wet/damp then i wouldnt fully reccomend the Pzero as iv got them on my 318(2litre) and have got it sideways many times. And thats saying something with 255 on the rear and it spinning its rear wheels is not common.

Dave330 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I always ran Eagle F1s on powerful RWD cars (with LSD and no TC/DSC), and found them to be nothing short of brilliant in the wet. They felt great in the dry too, and while I didn't often press on in the wet, they gave a lot of confidence. feva and StuBeeDoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalaugh Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thought I'd drop an update in on the P-Zero's I went for. No complaints with the road usage I've had so far, much improved ride with the 18" over the 19" too. The P-Zero is noisier compared to the Falkens I was running.
