Does anyone know what the tread depth is on a brand new Pireili 205/45 x 17 run flat tyre when you first buy it

I think mine were about 7.5mm deep. I remember thinking that they weren't the 8mm deep that most other tires are.

James,
Thanks for the info, are you still on runflats or have you changed, John

Yeah, still on Euphori@ runflats. I put them on about a month ago in a bit of a hurry. Pirelli SA ran out of stock and had a 6 week lead time, and I couldn't wait, as mine where already finished and I didn't want to take any chances with insurance etc. I found some and immediately bought them, without looking around. Whilst at the fitment centre I asked if they could offer me anything else, but they only ones they had in 205/45 R17 were Dunlop, Euphori@, and P Zero's for a Porsche that would have been twice the price.
