Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the original tyres supplied with the PFL Omega were?

[tunnie]

Primacy maybe?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Spares were Michelin HX. I've often wondered this, too.

[frostbite]

No idea but at least they weren't the p6000 nastiness

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Oh no, I've just realised this is another tyre thread...!!! 

[Bojan]

Most car manufacturers use several suppliers for same car and same dimension of the tyre.
Probably that was the case with omega, too.

Even if they're still selling a Pirgoodchelintal aardvark 3000 17 years later, it won't be the same rubber formulation or carcase construction. So it won't drive/feel/last/look/cost the same.


And we all have different  experiences; I have happily paid extra for Pirellis(including P6000), but you would have to pay me to put Michelins on my car.

Don't make names like that or there will be a new Chinese brand in a few  days

I think we're safe as there isn't room for it on a low profile tyre, and it isn't tough/ridiculous enough for a 4x4 tyre - Desert Duellers for instance.

A very good tyre by Bridgestone.still available.

Think omegas' came from factory with Michelins.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the original tyres supplied with the PFL Omega were?

Michelin Pilots I think were on mine - Here is picture of the Old Girl from 2002 (Had her from New so I know what was on there before !)



Here is a picture of her NOW - 14 years later !!!  (Now on Uniroyall Rainsport 3's  )

She has aged well 

[baggers]

They came with Michelin Pilots

[ffcgary1]

Michelin pilots on mine as well from new, got nearly 25,000 out of them before they neared the end of their life. 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Brochure pic shows Michelin HX (that was early PFL, however) Pilots sound right for MFL / FL

Dr Andy that cars a credit to you mate. Unless you're a photoshop expert that looks as good as day 1 👍👍👍
