Does this 450 quid road tax include electric vehicles also? That excess tax grab for vehicles over 40K is ridiculous and has no merit as a ROAD tax.
How many miles to expect from P zeros
- Thread starter Jassyo06

Electric cars are zero emission so don’t have to pay the £140 but if the car is over £40k they still have to pay the £310 premium
Which just goes to prove how money grabbing our government is against motorists.
It should be expected that they would reward people paying the price for electric vehicle ownership....and lets face it only the bargain basement cars are currently less than 40 grand.

Mate go and configure the new Audi q3 Vorsprung variant...it starts at £43k............you could easliy push it over £50k
No doubt they'll be a Vorsprung variant of the NEW A3

For years they were giving £5k grants for electric car buyers and I think that stopped when the new rules came in. So they aren’t all bad. It was fine when all that was available was a Nissan Leaf now with all the premium brands churning out electric vehicles the government thought we shouldn’t be subsidising the rich for their premium EVs.
Electric cars aren’t zero emissions in my opinion. We still have fossil fuel power stations so all it’s done is move the emission somewhere else. If we all had nuclear and renewables it’s a different story but that’s a different debate for another day.
That’s very expensive, the next A3 is going to be silly money.
Been looking at the q3 and it’s really expensive for what it is. £43k for the vorsprung version is too rich for my blood. My last a6 with all the toys and a 3.0 v6 Quattro didn’t cost that much.

I just checked and I’ve got 4mm left on the fronts and 5mm on the rears at just under 13k miles.

This has worried me for when I replace. Where did you order the AO1’s from? Hopefully the P-Zero’s blackcircles have are AO1’s as they seem to be the cheapest fitted price.
My first set were all equally worn at about 10k, OEM Bridgestone I think, I’ve put RT sportmax 2’s on which seem like a better tyre and they are all wearing equally as well but seem to be lasting a little longer, done 7k and on 5mm all round.
That makes my Porker seem like a bargain bucket....to keep vaguely on topic the porker came with Pirelli's
Pirelli's....Oh dear....A quickie with a lady of the night lasts longer than P zeros mate.....lol
Anyways.....l am selling a set of P zeros RO1's.....with 40 miles on them for delivered £140
If by people you mean Audi, then yes.
Mid -Life Crisis big time mate....he just comes on here to blow some steam off....3 door S3 guy ye know..

I meant people like jassy. You always have the option to change them, and with P zero's I always would.If by people you mean Audi, then yes.

I did, I put 235/35/19 P zero A/S plus on my saloon and they suit the driving and weather conditions I require. That tyre is not available in the UK. They replaced the P Zero AO factory shod tyres which are the best factory shod tyres I have ever driven on, quiet, good grip and comfortable ride. Most factory shod tyres are not very good. Yes, Michelin high performance summer tyres are a very good tyre, but are expensive, noisy and a hard ride. Just my opinion.

So... .update my second set of tyres eventually got fitted tonight pzeros A0 these do have the uber rim protection but again they have a different tread pattern to the A01"s from the factory, so l just decided to keep them on the car as l can't be ***** anymore, it's not fitting centres fault it's the actual company also there are 16 different types of Pirelli P Zeros and l wasn't about to order every one on the list until l found the right type

Yeah I’d imagine it would get quite expensive having to change 16 sets of tyres like! Hahaha.
Haha OK thanks Jassy, at least we know how to get the ones with the correct rim protection!
