"I" would say so. But I wouldn't consider myself an expert.
Driving background: I consider my self to be a very aggressive driver.
As a matter of fact it was only a few days ago that I hit 132 MPH on a
rural highway her in Texas. (But I guess with the speed error that's
more like 125) They have never failed to take me through a turn at any
speed I feel comfortable with. I think they out handle the factory
suspension. Oh and they don't squeal at all like the GA's did. BUT!,
they have half the tread ware rating of the GA's.
On a totally non analytical note: there's just something about having
Italian tires on my car. :-)
Oh, I have heard (a while back) one or two guys on the list mention
bubbling or warping in the side walls of Pirelli's. I don't know if
they were P700Zs or not. Guys??????
Good luck Mark,
Joe
PS: Ya know I finally got my Blaupunkt head unit and changer installed
a couple of months ago and I've got two or three roles of very detailed
pictures from the install. If you can use any of them for the web page
let me know. I have a HP scanner and can work up some images for you.
