Interesting. My Pirelli P Zero Rosso's are 95Y. There must be two versions.

Quite possibly. The standard price for the Pirelli P Zero Rosso's are about $2k for 4 tyres, not $1k. I would say that they were on special due to the fact that they were such a lowly speed/load rating and would suit very few cars.

St George Tyres have been involved before in this sort of BS, they were selling tyres that were a fraction of the price (can't remember the brand) but it turns out that the tyres were a special winter edition only for cold climates and they performed totally different to the proper tyre.
They also sell tyres that are years old and tyres lose around 15% of their grippiness after 6 months so I'd hate to see what they're like after 2-3 years.

You would be surprised at the amount of passenger cars I see on a weekly basis with M+S Mud and Snow) stamped in the sidewalls. Not required in 95% of Australia, to be honest.
I haven't seen many tyre wear issues with the R36s thus far. Most of the tyre wear concerns I've seen are with Touaregs. Mainly caused by underinflation. Sorry, but a 2.5 tonne glorified truck needs more than 25psi in the tyres.

Oops, made a mistake.
