I have recently fitted P-Zero's to my Pirelli and I've yet to make them loose traction in the dry. They seem a very capable tyre to me!

Boost leak?  :laugh:

cheers pal. 

It'll take a pretty good tyre to tempt me from changing the federal 595RS-R i have. Awesome tyre

Are those the track ones ?

Why test in 17's only. Most performance cars these days comes with 19/20's

Should have done two tests.

The best tyres for 19's are completely different to those for 17's

What's good in the world of 19/20" tyres then?

Michelin supersports and dunlop sportmaxx race are pretty much head and shoulders above everything else.

Anyone had or have the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance 2 winter tyres? Seem to come out well in the reviews on that website. Like my Goodyear F1 2's a lot so was thinking to keep it all in the family. This will be my first time having winter tyres so no previous experience.

I also have the PZero s fitted to my stage 1 Pirelli and have never lost traction in the dry above 2nd gear.  Highly recommend them but they do wear pretty quickly

Im not convinced to be honest and wonder if EVO are totally unbiased these days.
PZero surprises me.


Especially as Harry was at the Pirelli factory making tyres for his Lambo... :wink:

Thats the first thing i thought when i read the result, funny how last month he's very impressed by their factory and the next they win the tyre test   :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:
