Default Pirelli P7000 Supersport



What is "your take" on the Pirelli P7000 Supersport?
[It would be on an 18" rim.]

Thanks,
-Steve

I'm not Jim, but I had these on my E36 M3 and they are very, very soft tires. They didn't last very long for me and so I switched to a tire with better treadwear. They came with the car and I didn't really drive hard on them so I couldn't tell you their performance benefits.

I had these tires on my modified 94 Prelude. They were excellent in the rain/dry weather (had snows for winter). The only bad thing i experienced with them was the right rear tire started to "dry rot" or crack along the innerpart of the tire (unable to see, but mechanic saw it because he had it on a 10 ft lift). But i believe this was because they were so old, i got 30k out of them. Besides the crack, they functioned great.

The tire is discontinued and not a tire I would recommend for an S2K. The Pierlli P7000SS did not have the 245/45R16 that works better for the rear either.

Have them on my 19's that i had on my prelude. I thought they were good tires. Only drove on them for about 8k or so. Good traction and fairly quiet on the road. Gonna be going on the S2k if they fit alright.

Had them on a previous car. They were cheap, but did not compare to the OEM tires in terms of performance. They were supposed to last longer than OEM's, but I only got 20k miles out of them. I got the same mileage from the better performing OEM tires.

I would NOT recommend them.
