For the MK1 MR2 you cannot find a more lethal tire in the wet.
Its worse than the Taiwanese cheap tires for grip.
Had my car for 8 years now and have used it all year round, on track, cross continent and general everyday driving. The car has only ever spun it with these tires on, not at excessive speed but at 10mph coming off a roundabout when I turned off, not once but around 1/3 of the time, it also slides on corners without letting you know.
The grip in the dry is very good, the feedback good, just the moment there is rain then you best start praying to your God that you are going to make it to your destination.
I removed my tires ASAP and ended up with £15.00 part worns on the rear tires instead and these were 1000% better in the wet, given they were a matching set of no name tires.
I will now NEVER put Pirelli tires on any vehicle that I own as I feel that their tires have endangered my life.
In my opinion these tires should never be put on a MK1 MR2 and anyone who supplies these to an MK1 MR2 owner as a decent tire should be liable for any injury or damage caused.
DO NOT TOUCH THEM IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, THE LIVES OF ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW OR THE GENERAL POPULACE.
Cannot comment on wear as I had the tires removed as soon as possible, I will use the tires on the next track day and remove them from my life gladly.
Cannot comment on comfort as I drive quite hard and have lowered suspension and the car has a performance exhaust so cannot hear any tire noise.
