Asehgalasked
I am a newbie to this and seek suggestions to run-flat tyres, if you can advice on them.
I have to buy new run-flat tires for my Lexus IS 300 (225/45/17). The tires that came fitted on the car were Bridgestone ER033 (Costco selling at $190) and they crashed out at under 30k kms. My searching around has given me options to look at Michelin PS4 (expensive $260/- in the list), Pirelli P 7 (less expensive). My drive is mostly within city. I am not savvy with these things so asking for. Any suggestions will help me.

Hi Asehgal. I am not qualified to answer your question. I bought the Pirellis because of their wet weather handling. They are softer and handle very well on wet roads but the have a shorter life-span compared to other tyres. To me handling is more important than life-span - Tyres are your life as they connect the car to the road surface.
Thanks Andrew. I agree with the safety issue. Roughly how much mileage you got and were they noisy after 50% wear/tear as some reviews claim to be?

What tire pressure for 235x45x18 p7 please?
3 answers
The pressure is specific to a vehicle. So if you look on the driver door (where the door shuts) there should be a chart that tells you what pressure on which tyre
Not what im hearing from 3 diff tire companies but thanks any way from 36 to38
generally higher PSI means better wear and handling, also fuel consumption, but too high can result in a blowout.

How much for 2 tyres size 245/30/19
2 tyres size 275/30/19?

Go to www.tyresales.com.au where I purchased my tires and run those numbers, you will get a price for each.
the best price may not be the answer as the tyre may have sat in a warehouse for a while. it is best to go to a tyre dealer that has a high volume in the pirelli tyres. I purchased mine from tyrepower , they can advise the price over the phone for you and check on availability for you at the same time. hoping this helps.

May i know what is the treadwear number for this Pirelli Cinturato P7 ?
1 answer
260. If you are looking for long wearing tyre, consider the Turanza E300. It has similar qualities. I have it on the front of a rear wheel drive car and it has done 70k+ and it's probably has another 30% left.

I have a 2003 Solara SE convertible, 2.4 ltr, with 15" wheels. Have 205 65R 15 94H on the car and are 5-year-old Fiske tires.
Currently rides well, but seems to take the bumps somewhat harsh. But they are 5 years old and the front are worn to the wear bars.
I want the smoothest riding and quietest tire for this car, almost irrespective of the mileage warranty.
What would you suggest?

Hi there, for smooth ride and quiet purpose, I always recommend Michelin Primacy 3 St, while its not available for 205/65/R15, then YOKOHAMA BlueEarth AE01 will be my personal choice. Check up the reviews for this tyre you will find out something useful
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Continental ConticomfortContact 5 gives a soft ride and is available in your range and you can often get them at 4 for 3 offers from Bob Jane. I am not sure if the P7 comes in your range. They came with my Golf and it's quiet and the ride is firm but not too unpleasant. Hope that helps

I have read conflicting reviews for the Cinturato P7 tyres. Just wonder why is this so ? Does the tyre provide good handling in wet weather ?
1 answer
Depends on what you ask of it. In my view, the Cinturato P7 is more of a touring tyre rather than a true high performance tyre (despite what Pirelli says), so its grip limitations may be somewhat lower than a true high performance tyre. However, under normal driving (as opposed to track driving), I have yet to get these tyres to lose traction on a wet road.
