Gen 1 Superleggera tyres

[AndrewD]

The previous owner of my car gave me a set of unused tyres, but looking at them I'm not sure if they are correct.

They are Pirelli P Zero 235/35 ZR19 91Y fronts and 295/30 ZR19 100Y rears. The car currently has P Zero Corsas.

Are these alternative tyres or am I going to need to sell them on and get another set?

Cheers

there was a thread on this at the time, long since lost in the great pistonheads thread reshuffle

the dealer specified "road tyres" on my order

from memory, corsas were the track/dry road-biased option at no extra cost

The corsa tyre is as andrew says the faster 'option', but much higher wear rate and worse wet grip....

[andrew]

you're on here early. hope you didn't hurry the op ?!

[AndrewD]

So the P Zero is okay?

[andrew]

i keep getting punctures in the nsr as the car's too wide, but apart from that ok

suggest you also check the date code - 4 digits WWYY on the side of them - shows week number and year (last 2 digits), if they are over 5 years old I wouldn't fit them
