OBieXT Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I've been looking for a set of tires for the XT for a while, waiting for a some sort of buy 4, get X back/free deal to come up and I ran across this yesterday. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=Pirelli&model=PZero+Nero+M%26S The 235/55-17 size is only SLIGHTLY larger than stock (amounts to 7 revolutions in a mile) and for $76, I figured I couldn't go wrong. Don't know why they're so cheap compared to the other sizes of this tire but I pulled the trigger on them yesterday. If anyone else is in the market you'd better hop on these quick as I don't imagine they'll last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToRealEyes Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 are these tires any good? I don't think that size fits the OEM 2.5i wheels, but definitely good find, and thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRKnight Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Sweet deal, but will these work on our OEM 17"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBieXT Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Not sure about the 2.5i. The stock size on the XT is 225/55-17 so I'm sure they'll work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 27.2" diameter will hit the front bumper when turning the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjo Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 27.2" diameter will hit the front bumper when turning the wheel. That's why they make the bumper out of plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Not sure about the sizing since I've got an LGT, but I can vouch for the rubber: GREAT TIRES! I'm on my second set and I love them... even though I'd never been a Pirelli fan before. For all-season tires I think they hedge a little more towards the 'summer' side than some of them for traction, but are still great in the wet and good in the slush of a snow-plowed road. If you've got lots of snow, though, you may want a different tire for winter. The tires are also one of the lighter choices out there, which is an added bonus. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsaunders Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 these are stock mustang size tires- which helps with the reason why the price is low- I always like the sets of pirelli tires I had on my car(not suby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LICmotorsports Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I highly recommed these tires. I had a set on my Baja, and now a set on my OBXT Can't beat them for the money. This size as stated is for the OEM mustang size. It has more siping than the original designs for beter rain and snow traction. Great A/s tire for the money.
