that's not bad...
I'll be looking at 18's so I dare say they'll only cost a little more...
What sort of wear life did they say you'd get..? How many kms.?

Sweet.. It'd take me 10 years to do that in mine...
Although the tyres will have probably gone hard after that time anyway...
thanks mate!!

I have p zero nero in 245's front and 275's rear on my 20's

I fail to see how they are any better than the Indonesian sport contact two copies that I had, the $200 tyres were smoother quieter gripped better when cold and the same when warm.

Ohh yeah they leaked air from the bead, that's why I got the pirellis. Won't be getting them again. I don't know what they cost but I'm sure it ain't cheap LOL
