Gabriella Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I bought two rear 265/30/19 Pirelli P-Zero that cost me £270 each! I had them not even one year when rear blew out one month ago and another rear blew up 4 days ago I will never again buy this model tyre and i wish you to be all aware to not make same mistakes! I would expect more for the price paid for them to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Falken 452s should do you well, and half that price too. http://tinyurl.com/y86hqp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Tyres don't just blow out, do you know what the cause of the blow out was? Possibly run on low air pressure? causing side wall damage hence blow out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriella Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I replace them with Nagasakinogrips, £98 fitted.They do the job because i don't drive fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have 305/30/19 P-Zeros on the rear of my Supe and they seem to handle anything;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Sounds like low pressure then. Whoops. And just like that, some for sale http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=213902 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 under inflated would be my guess . i love p-zeros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have P-Zero's up front and Pilot Sports on the rear, never had any issues, quite good I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'd also have your geo checked out as it is a possibility that you had worn down the inner edge of they tyre. P-Zero's are extremely soft compound (lets put it this way I destroyed a set of rear ones in just one 25 minute track session) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a tracking done on front tyres because new tyres was going bold in 3-4 months of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 As already said you really need to keep a check on tyre pressures, even more so on low profile tyres as its not obvious that they have lost any pressure due to the very small sidewall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible its giving a wrong reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 What pressures were you running at? and how often do you check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible its wrong but most ive used have been within a couple of psi, ive used them and the normal garage tyre inflators but check afterwards with a snap on tyre gauge so i know for sure. We both have silly large expensive tyres so well worth investing in a decent gauge to check them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
