Vreds or Pirelli Rossos

[ENZ525]

Just caught this one , My take having driven on pirelli's and Vredsteins and michelin pilot sorts is , that on the pilot sports and the pirelli's i have had breakaway frequently and to be fair they were 1/4 worn when the vehicles were purchased , since having the Vreds on both the 4200 and the gransport now on 7500 miles and half worn still not had any breakaway unless i deliberately set out to have some fun , for me the proof is in the pudding , sunday drivers rarely push thier cars to the limit for real fun ,

what type of driver are you , a Harry Worth or a Mean Machine ticking timebomb

Very difficult for me to quantify this Loz,
as I said earlier, I have not tried the Vreds so do not have a comparison...
For me, the Pirellis have just the right amount of grip and feel on the QP, yes of course I can get the back to step out,
but it's manageable and I feel in control...
in fact I need to try some rallying (not in the Masser) as I quite like being on the loose stuff...
Where I think we have a difference of opinion is that you believe they have stood still and other tyre manufactures have progressed,
but I do not think this is the case.

Enzo.

I think this is another rather subjective opinion as we all will have our preffered tyres.
I sadly tend to drive a bit hastily in my spyder so i am in sports mode and lead footed.
I think the pirelli for me are the tyre of choice but they do look pants!
the vreds are far nicer to look at but IMHO are not as good as pirelli cause they dont have a decent "semi naked girls calender" for starters

Well Adam, the Pirellis were my preferred choice even before the whole semi-naked, pouting, calendar thingy was brought up...
Now, they are definately my #1

I had Continentals on my M3 CSL and they were very good on road and track...

I think there's probably not a lot to choose between the lot of them,
if you are comparing a branded tyre with another, it is just down to personal preference...some people stick with a brand they know,
other want to try something different, maybe because they have read a review or prefer the look of the tread pattern...
but once you get to a certain price point they should all perform pretty well.

Sound like a good plan,
I did not make it to Lancasters yesterday, so I feel I should make the effort today.

Wish I lived closer to the red QP GT thats for sale in Nottingham...That really is doing it for me at the moment...

 

[ENZ525]

Stunning colour, would like to see it close up...

 

[Andyk]

You just don't see many red ones..I like to be different me. Shame it hasn't got a light beige sort of leather as love that combo...But wouldn't say no to how it is now.

Very good point Adam , completely forgot about that important criteria yet again , i apologise , its an age thingy im having trouble getting used to Doh, and it was at the top of the list in what tyres performance ratings

Adam

How could any of us counter such a well reasoned argument as that.

My sentiments precisely..................come on guys............never mind "Those tyres look good"....hows about..." Whose that drapped all over that bonnet!!!"

[bigbob]

If anyone with a 4200GT is interested, Camskill now only list the 265/35 18 rear tyres as Mercedes Only if you want the SC3 or P Zero Rosso.

All for that as long as it's not a hairy *** mechanic.
