p-zero are grippy, but the thread wear is teh sux!!!!!! which p-zero is it? they have 2 types

do you mean they wear out fast?

cause i checked some reviews and that seems to be the case, but i'm not an aggressive drive nor do i go to the track

so for the price what do you guys think

should i just bite the bullet and pay for brand new ones which will probably last longer, minus the quality of pirelli of course

or buy the pirelli's

7/32.... how many percent left? i go by percentage most of the time :p

well, let's say that abt 80% left... for $260 for a set of 4, tht's a really good price esp for 225/40/18.... but they wear out fast... here's the specs on all 3 different p-zero:

1. P-zero nero - thread wear = 220

2. p-zero rosso - thread wear = 220

3. p-zero system - thread wear 140

the smaller the thread wear number, the faster it wears out... altho u might drive non-aggressively, it'll still wear out pretty fast.. i know this cos i drove my bro's car for half a year with the p-zero system, and it wore out the tires despite city driving.

in conclusion, get them for the mean time if u want becos tht is a good price for those tires... but look into buying new tires in abt a year or so.. hope that helps
