Re: Pirelli P700Z experience?



I hit the Tire Rack website (www.tirerack.com) and downloaded the on-line
survey results for the P700Z and it's comparable tires.  I added the
scores, tossed the snow traction column (useless for an "ultra-high
performance" tire, dropped the "will buy again?" column (all were probably)
and the "number of miles" column (brevity)....

I sorted by total score and you can grab a car mag and do the comparison
shopping yourself.  Me, I think I'll pick up a set.....
