BMW Z4 3.0i
I've currently got Pirelli P-Zero tyres on my car. I've been very happy with them, bit noisy but apart from that. The only thing is that they offer no over-hang type protection for my alloys against the ugly kerb. They seem to curve away from the centre to the tread a lot more than the continental sport contacts that were n there previously. (the contis sidewall seemed very vertical)
I'm going to be due new tyres in a few 1000 miles and want to get new alloys or a refurb when I get new tyres. I was probably going to get the PE2's as everyone goes on about how great they are. What sort of protection do they offer alloy wheels? Do the 205's offer a lot more protection than the 195's which I've got on now?
With no "tyre overhang", realistically it's inevitable that I'll kerb them eventually.
What are people's experiences/opinions?
If the 205 offers no greater protection over the 195 I'd prefer to stick to 195's for speedo accuracy and fuel economy.
