Question on Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R's
I'm visiting from the 911 forum where I have gotten little response to the following questions. I thought I'd try you guys as well to see if anyone has experience with the Pirellis.
I just acquired a somewhat hot rodded 78 SC with currently Bridgestone RE-11's installed. They're about six years old and not one of my favorites tires. My challenge lies in my tire sizes, they are 205/55 -16 and 245/45-16. It's on 7's and I believe 9's in the rear. The only tires currently available in those sizes are the RE-11's I now have or the Pirelli's. Regarding the Pirelli's, I know they are not good in the wet (I live in So Cal so don't care) and they have short tread life (I'm guessing 10K miles for my moderately aggressive street driving? if correct again who cars). Here are two additions questions I hoping someone can address. How noisy are the Trofeo's, any more so than other high performance tires? Secondly are they particularly harsh? I've read on the tire rack comments that one poster said there were better street tires than PSS's so that's high praise. Anyone out there that can help me on these questions? I'm hoping the Pirellis will work, they have a badass tread design.Thanks, Bryan
