255/35/18 Pirelli Box S (Yes or No?)

[silver-S]

I ran Pirellis on my Mazda back in the 90s and finally swore I would never buy them again. They cupped and started thumping like crazy at about 10k miles. When the second set started thumping, too, I bought a set of Michelins and have stuck with them ever since.

Maybe Pirelli have cleaned up their act since then, but I'm not going to bet $700 to find out. I've never had a set of Michelins that weren't superb.

So, even though I can't answer your question directly, I can say that I would not get these tires, based on my 20-year-old bad experiences. Maybe someone with more recent, better experience will throw something in.

The p-zero's were the worst tire that I ever owned. I absolutely hated them. Hard, slippery, loud as hell, expensive, and they wore out fast.

I am glad they wore out fast...

Your experience may vary. Maybe I got a bad set? But I won't buy that tire again (or put them on my car even if free).

My 03 came with the P-Zeros. Wore out FAST. Was not all that impressed with them. I would not put them on again (regardless of price)
