might chew them a bit quick as they are quite hard IMO

you cant win with tyres though, i take it your running verdresteins and as many people complain about them as rave about them

i had the p zero nero on mine and found the side walls cracked after 1000 miles. would never put pirelli on anything ever again
My experience of various Pirelli's over the years are that they are very noisy and don't last very long, very good in the dry but iffy when damp/wet.

most posts I've seen have said how good they are , thats why I went and tried them , on my second set on the front , replaced with same as I've found them to be very good wet or dry.
no esp issues and plenty of grip.
thanks folks, i,ll give them a try if there no good i,ll stick em on the back
I jus put on Good year Eagle assymeteric F1s on mine for £100 a tyre with fitting and balancing, as standard fit they came with continentals sports 2s, but the eagle F1s a brilliant tyre more dry traction and great in the wet too, it is alot better than the conti's but the conti isnt a bad tyre either, another good thing with the eagle F1 is that they are very low profile compared to the conti's the eagle F1 looks like a 225/40 and not a 45.
just an update with my thoughts, been on 1 week and 200 miles and cant fault them noise/wet/dry everything very good, tho how long they will last remains to be seen
