Thank you all very much for your advice on new tyres for my
I went with the general concensus on here and am now the proud owner of 2 Avon ZZ3 tyres. I have to say, the difference is very noticeable and they also look the dogs danglies
I managed to smoke some of my old tyres away before I got rid of them and oh dear, how I was slided around on those Pirellis
The tread on them wasn't too bad but the rubber had bulged slightly on small bits of the tread, so I guess they had reached the end of their days.
2 x Pirelli front tyres, 2 years and 10 months old and 17,000 miles done. May they be melted down and made into small rubbers that adorn the top of school pencils

17000 miles on the pirellis?? I barely made 8000 on the front ones! Back ones are ok for now with 15000 miles on them.
glad you like the Avons, wait till you try them in the wet, such a noticeable difference, very... "confidence inspiring"

Excellent choice of tyre. Can't wait for these Pirelli ones to wear so I can put the Avons on

I'm bringing up an old thread here because i'm being a bit blonde!

All links to the Avon ZZ3's say they have a W speed rating wheras I know the Pirreli's on my car have a ZR speed rating - will the W be okay?

kind of confused myself now whether I am stating it right... I am fairly sure I am right but either way. Check this link - says ZZ3s are good for 168mph - you'll be fine

Yeah I saw the 84w on this but i'm pretty sure that's on my current ones though. It was where it says Speed Rating W on that link that confused me - but as you say 168mph will do! I only drive that fast occasionally . Thanks!

heh good stuff. Yeah it says speed rating w, but I am sure that isn't right! On my tyre it says 205/40/17R ZR 84W. Fairly sure ZR is the speed rating. You'll like them anyway! You aren't too far from me, where are you getting tyred? Aim for under £70 a corner

I might go with these as i can get someone to fit them for next to nothing - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s13p171 but going to have a look round to see what i can find first i think!

that's a good price and you shouldn't have too much problem finding someone to fit them for you, probably around a tenner a tyre including disposal. Try BETS
