Advantages: Very good grip when you need it. Disadvantages: Just the cost.
...you want to visit the Pirelli website, take a look see here:- http://www.pirelli.co.uk/web/default.page New tyres need to be run in, and then checked as often as you can, for both pressure, and wear. The modern way is not to rotate your tyres on to different axles, but although 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 a time. ... ...I will just mention that Pirelli is the same firm that does the famous calendars, I will not go on about these as they are not relevant in this review, however, if you wish to see the calendar website, view it here:- http://www.pirellical.com/thecal/home.html I must also mention that tyres will look better for longer if you use tyre slick or similar, this gives your rubber a wet look, but also protects against extremes of weather. OK, just for fun, ...

Advantages: Good grip in both wet and dry conditions. Great safety record. Disadvantages: One of the most expensive tyres on the market.
...So why do I prefer Pirelli tyres to many of their competitors?
I don't know if any of you remember a recent controversy in the USA back in 2000 where there was over 200 fatalities caused when the Firestone tyres on Ford Explorer SUV's failed during cornering, causing the drivers to crash and in many cases turn over the vehicle? On investigation this was found to have been caused by the tread on the tyre separating from the tyre body, which subsequently ... ...performance tyres.
~ ~ Pirelli were the first tyre manufacturers to use nylon belts, first introducing them on racing tyres as far back as the 1950's. They now use them almost as a matter of course, and they are certainly on the two different sizes of Pirelli tyres that I currently use on my BMW 525, the Pirelli P4000 and the Pirelli P6000.
It's a simple enough matter to check whether your own car tyres have these nylon bands fitted. If you read ...

Mileage
-------
Back to the point...I changed from Firestone tyres on my car when they wore out - the fronts after only 16k miles on a new car and the rears at around 28k miles. I've now replaced my front Pirelli's again after a further 30k miles - (with life still in them - a slow puncture resulted in their premature demise). The rear tyres have done 16k and only a quarter worn. There are many ... ...go for next time, make sure you choose carefully. I recommend Pirelli but many other brands give good (or even better) performance, just make sure it meets the standards required by your type of car and driving habits. Don't just buy the ones on offer this week.
Safe driving....... ...

...my last car it had pirelli P6000 tyres on it, I have never really been that bothered about what tyres were on my car before as long as they were cheap and legal, but since using these I have always replaced with P6000's.
Price
I get my tyres from a local supplier (not a major garage) as I have used the major company's and believe the price and quality of service are supperior. In the past I have only paid around £25-£35 per tyre and now I pay £50 ... ...but I hope this helps a little as a rough idea.
Overall
Although they are expensive I would say that the quality you get from Pirelli is worth it. You all know the famous saying, " you get what you pay for" well this is a perfect example. ...

Advantages: Good hard tyres. Grip well Disadvantages: side wall splits
...my cars, I have owned pirelli tyre at some time. My old Primera has now gone to my wife as a run around but it does eat tyres. Due to its power steering, it likes to rub the outside corners off within a few thousand miles. However, this time, the rubber on the front was not Pirelli but Dunlop. This has been chewed through by the nation's roads at an alarming rate. Added to this, the tracking has been out and damaged them further. The soft compound ... ...help in tyre wear. Pirelli avoid the tyre wear problem by making a series of tyre that are tailored around the road. They are built to absorb the characteristics of the surface and not lose tread too quiclky. The rubber used in their moulds is a medium hardness consistency. This leads to a hard wearing tyre but still soft enough to give great handling. Performance in the rain is also superb. The "Rain Gulleys" cut into the likes of Michellin and ...
