Evo Mag Tyre Reviews
As I'm sure you know with these tyre reviews the results can always be taken with a grain of salt, as the type of car used in the test generally varies to what you drive and of course local conditions etc etc, but nevertheless I always read them!
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article...-Tyre-Test.htm http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article...-Tyre-Test.htm The results seem to favour the goodyear F1 A2's quite well which is somewhat as a relief as I had just purchased a set for my 335i |

Just wondering how much did you get for the set and what size are they ? I'm actually in the market to get a set soon. 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 but most likely going for 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. At the moment i'm on RFT and the ride is too harsh and looking at this alternative. |

I went for 225/35 265/30. I agree RFT's are too harsh, I compared a RFT off the rim against a similar tyre of the size spec (dia profile) and just pressing down on the tyre there was a lot more give in the conventional tyre. They are also meant to be a lot quieter which isn't really an issue with the RFT's as I currently think they are quite as is |

Thats not too bad. It cost 1400 to ship a set of 4 of the same tire from the states (4 x 265/35/18). BUT that doesn't include fitting, disposal, pickup from the depot, etc.

I have a mate into muscle cars, and he knows a hot rod builder who ships over a few containers a month, I have been meaning to ask him if he can grab me some tyres its crazy how cheap tyres are in the us! (well everything is I guess!)

I'm also in the market for new tyres as well as I've got a rear left leak / puncture today.
Can't decide to stick with RFT or switch to non-RFT.

Ive got continental 5p all round on my car , i have no comparison point , but general cornering grip seems to be fine , however traction (or lack of it) is a big issue
Might need to try Michelin PSS when these wear out , which at current rate wont be too long |

So at the moment, I think about getting a set of Pirelli's P-Zero. Anyone had these before and maybe share their thoughts. Seem like a decent pair of all-rounder from the reviews that I had googled.

Interested to hear what people think of the PSS and if loss of road feel has been an issue. |
