Pirelli P Zero Nero's and Rosso's are great tyres for the road but the tread melts the harder you drive them(track) plus they scream like a biatch when cornered hard.
I'm currently on P Zero Rosso which is a step up from Nero, and never getting Pirelli's again if I'm going to track them.
Don't get me wrong, they are great for a daily and handle seriously hard driving no problem but don't do well on a track once they get seriously hot, feels like you're driving on rubber thats about to melt, don't like too much heat..it's a Pirelli thing lol... but they are the best tyre in that price range you're looking at based on the tyres you listed above.

P-zeros Neros/Rossos with daily driving and 2-4 skidpans/track, will last you a year tops if rotated/managed properly and deliver buckets of fun.

In one paragraph you say you'd never buy pirelli again, in the next you recommend them?

re read parts highlighted in bold simon.... Said would not buy again if I would use them as track tyres again for more serious track work

speaking track, and RS-3s/ad08s will own those anyday anytime as a dual track/daily tyre, this was my point. I would buy those as a daily but not for any serious track work, but they're ok for the odd skidpan/tuning day

Edit: Just get the Pirellis if you can't get RS-3s, they will be great, don't worry about my comments, was providing too much info. I've been very happy with them as a daily, just now thinking more track and need something better.

Thats to do with the way you drive. Can make most tyres scream if you know how to understeer.

Just got a quote for the hankook s1evo2 (k117's) from some Belmont place off the hankook website for 250 a corner, they spoke highly of them.. will give kosteras a go next

Edit: maybe I won't.. Kalamunda is a bit too far
