New look for my Wheels

Fancied a bit of a change, simple gloss black, but does change the look of the car quite nicely. Just a little bit meaner

How are you finding the P Zero tyres compared to the originals? Same sizes?

Yep same sizes, but done a grand total of 15 miles on them so far so a little too early to say! 🤪

Will keep you informed!!

OK, so another months use and I can be a little more objective about the Pirellis. In overall terms they are not that different to the Bridgestones. I would say slightly better ride, slightly less road roar, slightly softer in the bends, but very small differences. Wet grip similar, time will tell on the wear rate and to me that will be the deciding factor on which tyres I go with next time.
