Mk 7 Tyres
« on: 04 January 2016, 14:48 »
I am new here so apologies if this has been dealt with a million times.

Tyres - My Mk7 PP is now 7 months old with 225/35 R19 Pirelli P Zeros from factory. 14,000 miles - fronts now need changing. Still 4.5mm on rears.

Questions...

Is this normal mileage?
Stick with P Zeros for replacements?
I have a quote for P Zero Silver at £135 each - is that good?
What is the difference between P Zero and P Zero Silver?

Thanks in advance

Suggest you read this article before buying. Tyre test uses a GTI but only18" rims: http://www.evo.co.uk/features/16545/best-tyres-evo-tyre-test-2015

14k miles is not bad for fronts.

14k is good going for 7 months! My 6 month old GTD is on 12k and I'm starting to think about tyre replacement but it only has 18s.

All P Zero'd up now - apparently, the Silvers are better than the standard P Zero's - not sure if I like the labeling bling though? A bit F1...........what do you think?

Looks odd to me - should have something to balance the look on the opposite side of the tyre
