I have never been a Pirelli person but hey I got a great deal on the set: Pirelli P8000 Vizzola 235/40/17 I cant quite remember but I think they are Z rated, I hope not because they perform worse then some H rated tires. Wet conditions they stick rather well to the road, lane changes, sudden stops and heavy acceleration https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif The unusual part is on a completely dry road rougly 50' F I can feel the back end getting light around long bends while on the gas???? wtf Feel the same sensation when doing lane changes, although the worst incident happened when I was coming around a corner and a cop has radar setup. Some of the tires locked up and the car got loose again. Very disappointing! Disgusted actually. I did slow down to below the speed limit https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif All in all I wouldnt recommend these tires to anyone, I'll be amazed if they stay on through the winter months.

are those the ones to replace the p7000 that got discontinued or they have always been around?
