Decent tyre? Anything else to consider?

Need to replace my 2 front tyres, the Pirelli PZero Rosso that came with the car are almost spent after 8k miles.

Thinking of getting some CSC5s

Any others worth considering?

Car is a Volvo S60, 320bhp through the front wheels :eek:

Ooh what sort of engine have you got there?

LiE · 24 Aug 2012 at 15:32

It's the 2.4 T5, standard is 260, mapped it's about 320.

Asy2's have been superb for me.

CS5's are rated higher though in wet grip.

Check out lovetyres.com

Great site, and way cheaper than anything else i've seen.

CSC5s are the best tyres I have had so far, really impressed with them.

Thanks, seems I can't go wrong with the CSC5s.

Very competitive, ta for the link.

I've not run the CSC5s, but moved from CSC3s to AS2s and I'm really pleased with them. That said, I was pretty chuffed with the CSC3s too, they just wore reasonably quickly.

Got a pair of CSC5's on the front of my S40, can't complain about the grip in any conditions, wear seems fairly good given the punishment they take (looking at about 12k), only minor complaint would be they're quite noisy compared to the Vreds I previously had.

Can't complain about my CSC5s either.

Right so it's actually time to replace my tyres. The Evo tyre test put the Pirelli P Zero a head of the rest, so I'm contemplating them now. What are people's thoughts? There's not a lot in the price.

Pirelli £100/tyre

Went with these in the end, £100 each fitted. Not bad.

That's pretty good, I ended up needing a new csc last week in your size and I paid 120 fitted
