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...

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.

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..

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.
