Car Tyres

* Hey, You look like the Michelin Man! . .

Advantages: Very good grip in all weather, especially in the wet.
Disadvantages: The cost and fact that they wear faster.

...need a "Performance" tyre. Michelin used own the Citroen car company from 1934 until 1976. During the World War 2 , the allies relied heavily on the Michelin range of maps, when planning the Operation Overlord (D-Day landings) on the 6th of June 1944. The size of a tyre is measured thus:- We will take a common size tyre as an example - 195/70R x 16 82 V. "195" is the width of the tread in mm, "70" is the aspect ratio in % (the height of the ...

Review of Michelin Pilot Sport

The best Tyres!

Advantages: The Pirelli P6000 is one of the most popular tyres on the road at the moment.
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

The Pirelli P6000 is one of the most popular tyres on the road at the moment. The tyre design is geared up for practicality as is the compound, creating an all things to all men tyre. Used by BMW, Ford, Vauxhall amongst others. The life of the tyre is very good as is the performance, however if it is sports performance you are looking for then this is probably not the tyre for you. The typical buyer is a motorway driver with a requirement for a long ...
...weekend! The Pirelli Pzero Nero is relatively new to the production line. It is the closest you will get within the Pirelli range to a track tyre. Its design is like a something out of a science fiction film! This tyre has been seen on some of the BMW, Mercedes and Audi range. The braking distance is something that is noticeably reduced due to the increased footprint provided by the tyres tread section. The softer compound in used by this tyre doesn’t ...

Review of Pirelli P6000

* I'm so tyred . .

Advantages: Good when dry, good in the wet.
Disadvantages: Just the price of course.

...brand this time was Pirelli P7s. I was reminded of the fact that mine being sixteen inch, were a little more expensive than fifteens, or even seventeens! Apparently this is due to supply and demand, they don't make quite so many sixteen inch tyres. These were fitted on Vauxhall alloys, and all balancing weights were on the inside, where they should be, why is it most fitters put them on the outside? I have shopped around, in local tyre fitters as ...
...would like to visit the Pirelli website, take a look here:- http://www.pirelli.co.uk/web/default.page New tyres require running in, and then checked as often as you can, both for pressure, and also wear. The modern trend is not to rotate your tyres onto different axles, and while this does even out the wear, and make tyres last longer, the problem is that all of your tyres will wear out at the same time, and most people prefer to change two at ...

Review of Pirelli P-7

Lasted six weeks!!!!!

Advantages: only one tyre blew
Disadvantages: not fit for purpose

...inch curb. No refund from Pirelli as didn't keep the replaced tyre and Kwik Fit didn't suggest it when had to get an emergency replacement. Think I'll stick with Bridgestone in future. You would have thought a tyre for a 4X4 could handle a curb at 4mph. Repeating this because you have to have 120 words to submit a review doh! Got a full set of these and had a blowout at less than 4mph going over a 6 inch curb. No refund from Pirelli as didn't keep ...

Review of Pirelli P-Zero Rosso

Michelin Pilot Premacy

Advantages: Good all rounder
Disadvantages: Better can be had for the same money

I used to have 205/50/16 Michelin Pilot Premacy tyres fitted all round to my Ford Focus. As an all rounder the tyres themselves are pretty good In the dry the grip is excellent and not much is lost in the wet. However they are nowhere near as in the same league as the Pilot Sports for wet grip. Another problem I have found with these tyres is that after a few thousand miles, the tyres I had seemed to develop small surface cracks. However I am sure ...
...All in all they are pretty good tyres, but I would suggest saving a few more pounds and opting for either the Michelin Pilot Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1, or the Toyo Proxes T1-R which can all be had for not much money and in my opinion are significantly better ...
