Oh look its tyres again :-) GTS sizes and options

Could have sworn I'd read on here that you couldn't get super sports ?

Thinking about it I'm sure *I* have PSS, but I'm not going to check as it's persisting it down.

Never had PSS but they've always got amazing reviews everywhere you look, gotta be better than these p-zero's anyway

I can't really comment as the fronts are soooooooo rubbish

Shame they weren't testing the "new generation" PZero!

The trouble is you are relatively limited for rear tyres in the right sizes. I've just put Contis on the backs but could only get Contact 5s since they don't make 6s in the right size yet.

I now have PSS on the front and they are great and will change the rears to PSS next time

Had a conversation with the outfit that changed them last time and his words were the P Zero is not as liked as you'd think and that the second last revision of it was to try and address the issues and then so was the latest 2016 revision. He raised this with the Pirelli rep who allegedly said we're fixed all that in this latest version

Could be rubbish but there's definitely something going on with p zero's somewhere. Sure I read somewhere about all McLaren drivers buying the new whatever (650) and instantly ditching the pirellis

OK, my rear tyres are due so I phoned a few tyre places and no one seemed to know the difference between the current PZero and "new gen" PZero. So, I phoned Pirelli customer service. Currently, the only "new gen" PZero which fits the rears is:

https://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/tyres/brand/pirelli/pirelli-pzero-xl/285-35YR20-104Y-xl

which is actually a McLaren fitment.

The only Maserati fitment is still the "old gen" PZero... apparently.

Mikey just go PSS, forget the P Zero's

I should but I'm OCD about keeping it OEM!

Or Contis, Maserati now recommend them alongside the 'P Zero Grip'.
