Pirelli PZero Corsa 215-45-17
Any feedback?

 

PZero Corsa tires are for track competition/lapping and at $220 each from tirerack are quite expensive for most of us. That is a good size for track use however and if you can afford it then give Alex@tirerack.com a call.

Note: Unlike other Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, the 215/45R17 87Y size features a unique tread compound molded into an 8/32” deep directional tread design. It is assigned a UTQG rating of 140 AA A.


An alternative might be the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup in 225/45-17 at $208 each but that runs a bit tall at 25.1" outer tire diameter and might rub a bit especially if your MINI is lowered. With Coil over suspension you can adjust ride height for clearance or trim the inner rear wheel wells with a dremmel tool. Tread wear is not as good as the PZero Corsa.

Another alternative is the Yokohama Advan A048
in 215/45-17 at $225 each

Available in medium and medium hard compound but wears fast.
