Default New rubber

I just put a new set of tyres on the car. I think the P Zero's price was mixed up with a phone number so I went for the new Yokohama's. They are amazing feet, too.
I find them quite a bit quieter than the P Zero's and they can handle as well as any tyres I have used in the past, without the horrific price tag.
The rears were NZ$1150.00 ea and fronts (that were OK) were NZ$900ea.
That's like $4K for a set of rubber! Pass.
Got the Yoko's for $1700.00 front and rear, fitted, bal and filled with nitrogen.
They nicked my Porsche caps though and replaced with some bling crap with the Nitrogen logo.

I put Yokies on mine too about 6 months ago and they've been great.

I used Advan Sport V103. Apparantly the best they make.
They'll do me anyway, especially given the ridicioulous prices they want to charge for P Zero's.

V103 Same as what I put on. Not every model tyre that is sold in America is available here in NZ.
