Something to replace the Pirelli p7?

[an observer]

Have you considered the Bridgestone Potenza RE002 or the recently released RE003?

Have used them on my '04 TL for some years now. Somewhat soft and 40k tops on the front, but much better than the typical OEM taxi tyres these cars came with.

You can get Pirelli P7 Cinturato in 215/60/16 and 225/55/16.
I have them in the OEM size and they indeed are grippy.
Michelin PS3 is a good option

I agree with spetz,

I have ps3's on my verada i find them to be awesome.

What size are you using?

Michelin do not make a 215/60/16 in PS3.

I hesitated going to only 17" due to the possibility of rim damage from potholes when I
found a full set of genuine TL VRX wheels at the local wrecker a few months ago for $250.

One of them already had a "flat spot" which could have been repaired - but I didn't take them.

My heart was saying yes, but my head(and my wallet - all 5 tyres were completely "shot") was saying no.

For me, 18's would be just too extreme.

Maybe when I was younger.

Instead, I just stayed with the stock 16", and got the Bridgestone RE003 Potenza.

I'm still very happy with them so far.

Bang for the buck at $117 each after cash back.
