Rmteamrims 1st Gear March 5, 2013 Share March 5, 2013 Me too...can't find at all... Tyre shop guy said might be only printed on the sticker but got to remove for installation lor... surely all tyres print their country of manufacture on the tyre. But not on both side, if you can't find it, its probably on the inner side of the tyres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bighero Neutral Newbie March 5, 2013 Share March 5, 2013 i have just changed from Pirelli to Continental. Conti is certainly quieter Dont understand how some can compare grippy or not...unless you really push your car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grix17 Clutched March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 is it true pirelli typically cost more than continental and michellin? Depends, but usually true. There are some Pirellis not made in Europe (eg. Dragon) that are cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 Depends, but usually true. There are some Pirellis not made in Europe (eg. Dragon) that are cheaper. oh thanks....say if both are made in europe i suppose pirelli is more expensive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grix17 Clutched March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 oh thanks....say if both are made in europe i suppose pirelli is more expensive? Generally, on average the prices are in the order of Pirelli, Continental, then Michelin. Don't forget they need to pay models to strip for their calendar .. just kiddin. I'm not a tyre dealer - only a tyre 'enthusiast' so I can't provide numerical evidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
