Hi All,

As some of you know I'm doing the Cannonball Run Europe in July.

I'm looking to get some new tyres.

I've found Pirelli P ZERO ROSSO Asimmetrico on the Eiretyres site that are well rated ?

Any sugestions ?

I'm not too concered about the price - but at the same time .....

 

Thanks in Advance.

I just put on Eagle F1s today, for the price they are great. If you want the best tyre which I am guessing you do the PS2 are the best for a heavy car like the E39.

If I did not go through a set of tyres every 6k miles I would get PS2 as well.

Different tyres are good for different cars, on the M5board the PS2 is by far the choice tyre for owners. This is the E39 crowd I am refering to.

I doubt very much that you will be disappointed with the PS2's; I have them on my E46 and find them great!
