anyone running these on an Omega?
thoughts / opinions?
only £94 each locally for 4
sound a good tyre at a good price.... :-/
-
Don't have them but read they're really great tyres.
And the price is really a bargain for them
-
I always used to say I wouldn't put Pirellis on a wheelbarrow, but I have to concede that P6000s work fantastically well on her little Rover. Just shows how some cars can get a particular tyre to work well and some can't.
Dunno about P-Z on Omega, never tried it...
-
Ive liked the 6000's on other cars :-/
no experience of any pirelli on an omega.
ive a vague feeling Mr Dundee may have them on his :-?

You're having a bobby :o
I have found they are utterly hopeless on all the cars I've tried them on, with the single exception of her Rover. Bizarre.
-
On Cavalier, and Mazda 626, I found them good and grippy :-/
-
Have the PZ Rosso on the wifes 307 sport. They were OE and when replacements were needed, stayed with them.
They certainly appear to suit the FWD pocketrocket but no experience of fitment to the luxobarge...
-
I am running 235/45/17 PZero Rosso's on the front of my Mig and i have to say they are much better than the Conti 2's they replaced especially in clearing standing water on the motorway !!!!!!!! :y
-
Hava a set on the back of mine and very happy good wear and grip is very good have not had it let go on a roundabout as yet ::) ::)....not bad as they are now getting on the low side.
When it comes to replacement time would use again. :y :y
-
I got 4 Falken FK452s from camskill.co.uk, for £280 the set... fitted to my ex-plod for £30. It's a faff on, but you can't argue with the saving.
Terrific tyres, too - the third car I've had them on.
-
My mate has them on his M3 but reckons they are nowhere near as good as the bridgestone one's they replaced.
-
I have Pirelli P zero Rosso all round and I can't wait for them to wear out. I think they've made mine the worst handling car I've ever owned.
I've had my car WIM'ed twice, just a few weeks ago and he did adjust the tracking as it was toeing out a little, its now much better but hates any roads with grooves or tramlines..
Can't complain about the grip, its just very nervous on uneven roads.. Which around Kent is just about everywhere..
-
Seems the rosso's work better on FWD
-
michelin primacy was ok. just got latest energys for £90 each. seem fine
-
Pirelli P-Zero , more common name Pirelli Ditchfinder. Have to say I've never used them myself but lots of people on motoring forums slag them off. THey cant all be wrong/making it up.
Best tyre I have found so far for my miggy is the Falken ZE912, about £70 a corner from camskill online. Its got good grip and wears well.
Had Falken FK452's before which did grip slightly better but wore out quicker.
Not everyone is a fan of the Falkens on the miggy but for me they work.
-
I've got Goodyear eagles on mine and they are absolutly fantastic. They've never once let go, unless its on purpose ::)
and I've done 125/130 ish (as if I was paying attention to the speedo at that speed) in the damp, just perfect.
Need replacing soon at a cost of 90 yoyos each :)
My mother has bridgestones on her nissan and they're completely cr@p, around 60/70 the car starts to "float" around :o
-
Personal experience sudgests they are only well suited to smaller lighter cars
-
Hi my tuppence worth.
Neuton tyres £94 per pair delivered.
Yes I can hear the doomsayers from here. However I have had
the car over 2 years now.It came with 2 new Goodyears on the front
and new tyres on the back whose name escapes me at the moment, but
they were awful.First to go were the back replaced with Neutons, which
were immeasurabley superior.Then changed the front to neutons, the difference is amazing, I wouldn't say they have more or less grip, but
having previously changed the steering idle arm,wishbones full geometry
setup and still not stopping the wandering tendancies of the car, with these new tyres on it tracks brilliantly even on the worst roads I drive on.They also make a big difference when towing, much more stable.
No idea how long they last but at this price I,m very happy.
Glyn :)

Not a tyre I like. Last set I had were on a car when I bought it, but never mind, I soone wore them bald so I could put something decent on...

you know me and my SP9000s ;D. Wondering if my camber isn't spot on, as some of those straight line stops at Newent showed I could break grip if I tried heard enough.
ABS Fuse reinserted now, testing complete ::)
-
IME Dunlops seem to give the best accuracy. But are a bit noisy.
Conti compromise this a fraction to be quieter....
.... but are a trillion times better than falken 912s which are appalling on my car as TB has witnessed. Only thing i will say re 912s is they are very quiet.
Makes me wonder that noise and accuracy are a bit of a trade off. Cant have both as one compromises the other. So i would say, from the above, conti seem to give best balance, but depends what you want from your boots.(if you want boots full of jelly, fit 912s....yuk)

I put 4 new michelin pilot HX on mine a few months ago,very pleased with them,especially as they cost me £20 each from Markey Mark. :)
