P7 cintreno is the approved tyre..................yuck .
I put those tyres on last month due to pothole damage while at the coast. Oh my word now the traction light seems to be coming on frequently............and in the dry. These are the normal tyres. I have had Bridgestone Turanza, Yokohama Advan S drives and Hankook V12. I have to say that never occurred before. Please be careful chaps. I don't even want to think how these will hold up when the summer rains come full swing

why so negative guys? would you rather specials dont get posted up at all...
If the tire you need is not on the list Ralf will call in and see what price he can get you...
Pirelli make some of the best tires on the market... the P7 cintreno are an eco/touring tire Im not sure I would fit them to a performance car
although great progress is being made to combine low rolling resistance with grip I feel grip is not yet on a par with the old Touring tire designs where rolling resistance was not considered...
P zero on the other hand :rollsmile: there is a reason you see many supercars rolling on them...

100% Pirelli are not a cheap tire but they are good... all im saying is that perhaps an eco tire was not the best choice an e46 320d has way more torque than your average car out there the P7 is made for people who want a quiet, comfortable ride with good fuel consumption not for those who push their cars... no eco tire will do that despite what they say
all touring tires are going eco and this problem is not just with Pirelli all tire manufactures are trying to balance grip with rolling resistance in this class as this is what the market segment wants
unfortunately for those that demand more grip it means we have to move into the performance segment where prices go up quickly and we cannot rely on touring tires anymore to deliver what we want unless we go for older designs

I have hem on my 320D. I have never had any issues with them, not in the wet, and not on dry roads They very comfortable with good grip.
