Re: Whats wrong with Pirellis P6000 Sport Veloce? (archive)

There is nothing wrong with the tires you have. After checking tire rack, the sport veloce's are available in either HR or VR speed rating. I'm assuming you have at least HR rating. This is good for up to 130mph. This is more than adequate. Pirelli's are known for being noisier than other brands but that is subjective reasoning and what may be noisy to you isn't to someone else. Pirelli is a excellent tire maker and although everyone has an opinion it doesn't make logical sense to go out and replace all your tires. All you need is 1 tire and your done. Keep the Road Hugger for the spare and move your new spare Veloce onto one of the rears. Now when you decide to with a plus 3 or plus 4 fitment that's another ball game. Let me know and I'll fill you in on all the sordid details as I just went through a plus 4 fitment.

Congratulations on your purchase!!! It's an awesome car. Have you driven it enough to know what the phrase "ultimate driving machine" means yet?

Have mismatched tires on the 750 I just bought yesterday. The Pirellis on front and some Road Huggers on the back - back tires are more aggressive than front and not the same quality it seems. Im inclined to match the Pirelli's on the back - the spare is already mounted with it and the fronts are pretty new. The review on Discount Tire says they are quite good, low noise, high performance etc. At $78 per tire that seems fine - any further thoughts?
