Was on my 4th set of Pirelli RFTs on my 123d when I sold it - never had a problem with them, but then I never tried anything else to be fair!
But they were way better than the Bridgestone Potenzas on my Z4Cs. :laugh:

Goodyear's,a good all rounder,but in the dry I would say look at Michelin pilot super sports.
Also Vredsteins(ultracs,etc),great all round and superb in the wet,,if looking at alternatives

Interesting choice given that everyone who answered the question expressed a preference for the Goodyears. I was too late but I have been super happy with the Eagle F1 Assymetrics I put on on mine.Busterboo wrote:Ordered the Pirellis.Busterboo wrote:Help, please. Time to choose.

I was going to say 'Fair comment', but the opinions that came back weren't "overwhelming for the Goodyears".mr wilks wrote: Whooooops you asked for opinion between the 2 which came back overwhelming for the Goodyears yet you bought the Pirellis
However, they certainly weren't for the Pirellis, either. But, since posting the question, I've done more research and more remembering of my own Pirelli experience, which was very good.
Yes, they have a bad-in-the-wet reputation, but that goes back far beyond the new 2016 P Zeros, which have road-tested well in this regard. Yes, they might not last long, but at £450 a set, this is a risk I'm willing to take.
The primary reason I've gone for them, although there are others, is that the P Zero is a good 'sticker' in the dry and perhaps better than it was in the wet (although I never chuck cars around in the wet, anyway).
Whatever, if I've made a mistake, I'll report back and 'fess up.

At the end of the day,it's what you are happy getting
I have lauded the greatness of various Vredesteins I have had fitted to various cars over the years,Inc my last z4,but in about 5 years with my current z ,I have went with Goodyear's or Pilot SuperSport's.
Still not convinced on either in the wet, compared to Vredesteins tbh,but will see.
The pirrelli's should be okay though

I found Pirelli's do wear faster. I've had Goodyears F1's on my Alpina for 2 years and cant fault them.
