Porsche themselves. Before the tyres were released for sale Porsche tested them, and they were not releaed untill they had attained the N Porsche homologation

I wish for Avon 'tyres' in the states as they make quite fabulous sport bike grippy things.
my senses err me towards wet grip as odds show that is when you are most likely to toss it.
nostalgia aside, that pattern seems like it could be loud.

The P-Zero Rosso is a better tyre for a modern car.
A P7 is a better tyre for Late '70s, '80s cars
The differences are subtle. they both have Pirelli quality control and the modern compounds will grip and move water better than they did in period. However the benefits are that the carcass is built to compliment the chassis of an earlier car.
don't take it form me with my obvious interest check out the Lamborghini Boys https://www.lamborghinichat.com/foru...508651/page-12 It is a joy for me to read. I love a happy customer. far more important than the fast buck.
Incidentally in the US try Lucas classic tires in Longbeach LA. They distribute the Pirelli Classiche range in the States.

Seems nothing more than a FYI as may people don't prefer the look of a modern tire on a classic car but still want updated performance and safety from the most important item you can buy for your car. Also, with 15 and 16 inch sizes disappearing at a high rate, there won't be many modern rubber options at all.
Yes, they're expensive because they are going to be sold in considerably lower volumes than their P Zero line. The GM of my local Porsche dealer just bought a set of these P7's for his early 928 and they look perfectly period correct on the original 15" phone dials.

What about his post makes you think he is anything other than an enthusiast? I don't see anything to suggest that he is peddling tires for Pirelli or any other business. Put away your pitchforks so this can be a discussion about tires.
