These tyres were factory fitted on the C30 when I bought it brand new. They were ok, nothing too special. Nothing wrong with them...
Understandly these tyres were better at handling, stopping, starting etc during use on dry and drier roads then wet or damp roads. I had these same tyres on my previous car a SEAT Ibiza FR TDi and they handled much better on ther FR, I guess the higher weight of the C30 and higher front end weight affect the Pirelli's ability to hold up and handle the loads...
The side wall is soft so any slight kerbing and you'll get a nice chunk out of the tyre. Also due to this the front near side tyre wears out quicker due to roundabout use...
Overall they're ok tyres for this tyre of car, but if like me, you like to push on and 'lean' on the tyres then they're not the best. Also they're too expensive for what they offer. Better than Toyo's T1-R's I put on next but no where near as good as my current boots, Bridgestone RE050's

P zero rosso are almost the worst tyres i've fitted to any of my cars past and present.
this is the second pair thats been fitted onto my wifes C30 in 2 years.
The wear rate is shocking, approx 12k and they're done.
The grip on wet and damp roads is pathetic. especially for a tyre that costs almost 200 quid.
The grip in the dry isn't too bad. As for grip on snow and ice,they're utterly useless.
Fortunatly there is now more choice in the 215/45/18 size in terms of brands and cost.
