These seem to have gone from the Mytyres list at about £96. I was wondering if this is because of them being replaced by PS2 which are now being listed outside of UK. Anyone know of another source? If I cannot find I think I will have to go for the Continentals or Pirelli Zero Nero.

I am getting my tyres checked** on Tuesday and need the same ones.

**'Apparently' I am not able to judge when my tyres need replacing and therefore clearly incapable of quoting my tyre make model and size specs [3]

I did tell the gentleman what tyre I needed and he said it wasnt in stock and would need to be ordered in etc...

I post my findings when I get them...

Righty oh then... My lease company is forcing me to put the Pirelli P Zero Neros on. Dealer tells me they are 150 plus fitting & balance and the Michelins are 5 quid cheaper.

Anyone got thoughts on the P Zeros??

P-Zero Rosso is a great tyre. Better than a Michi in all areas.
A bit Irish then to say I don't know anything about Neros.

Zero Neros are meant to be very good andcome in at around £100 plus fitting. They do well in tyre tests, have a decent wheel protector, better than Dunlop but marginally less than Michelin. High silica so good in wet and advanced aramid band construction, so light with low shock. Wear is par for course for a Summer tyre. NB The only two tyres to score a 'Very Recomendable by the German OEAMTC is the Conti Sport Contact 2 and GY Eagle F1 others are downgraded because of wet performance or too high a wear factor. I have done tons of research into this and the German tire tests and US Tirerack sites are brilliant - they answer all you ever need to know and more. PS As I appear not to be able to buy the MichelinPilot sport due to its imminent replacement of by the PS2 i will probably buy the Conti or the Nero - both from mytyres.

Hi Poppy1

I did a look up they seem reasonable... I just didnt want the lease company to go putting some cr@p high mileage tyres on it that lack grip. Bit worried about the tyre protector though... less than the Michelins??? What is less then zero?[3]

I am sure that the price I was quoted was the 'list' price and not what you would actually pay for them.
