Replacing the 20" P-Zeros. Has anybody else used these? Thots?

plastrd · 04-17-2012, 11:02 AM

I've had them on the rear for about 1500 miles now with some almost worn out P-zeros up front yet. Not as sticky as the P-zeros and I do feel the rear end get a little light when dropping to 3rd at 55 to pass someone. They let out a nice sounding chirp with a firm shift to second. For "typical" to "spirited" city and highway driving I think you'll find them to be nice but if you go all the way up the scale to "douchebag" you'll want to stick with summer performance tires (or for track/drag use).
Considering they are just all-season tires I'm happy with them though they haven't seen snow yet (my Pirelli Scorpions barely saw any this year either!). I'll be getting fronts soon.

Okay good to know. I already ordered and had them mounted a couple of hrs ago. Maybe I made the wrong selection here. Getting ready to SC here shortly.

Oh well guess douchebaggery will be my forte for the next 7-8 months.

I am also looking for a good set of douchebaggery wheels... may be considering the NT05s. However, their own website gives them a low rating for ride comfort and that is a bit concerning as it will still be a street vehicle.

I douchebag it up with the factory pirellis.

NT-05's are basically street legal track tires, if you want comfort, go with the Invo's.

Yea, I want to find the best tire to hook up but be street legal once I add a lower gear ratio to go with the cam... NT05s are probably it, but I have to realize the wife will still be in the car from time to time... I am just curious when they say lack of comfort, I wish I knew to what degree that meant. This is my first time ever even considering a slicker tire. I imagine the Invos tread probably lasts a good bit longer as well.
