Default Opinions about this tyre ?

Just had new front tyres fitted..... ( Pirelli P zero 245/40 R19 98Y )..........previous ( Falken fk453 245/40 R19 98Y )

I have noticed quite a difference with feedback from the steering , feel much more in control of the car , where as before if you go over slight bumps on the road , the car would wander all over the place ? , also the
ride feels slightly softer ?


I noticed after the tyres were fitted , they are not the same as the pic above , was told these are the newer Pirelli P zero tyres ?

Not really sure what your question is but all of the things you noticed improvements in are simply attributable to two things:

1. They're brand new Pirellis.

2. Pirelli P-Zipps are acknowledged as world class leading, right up there with Michelin PS/PSS. IOW, there's very little comparison between a $300 P-Zipp and a Falken that isn't a race tire (like the UTQG 200 615s). I sold Falkens a few years back and they are decent bang-for-the-buck tires but are not in the same class as the Pirellis.

For future questions like these, you're going to get the most customer feedback regarding this specific set of tires on the tirerack website:
