Good afternoon,
Would appreciate any advice regarding tyres for an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce 1.7 – 2018
The car has been wearing - PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ECOIMPACT 225/40 R18 92W – since new
I should like to replace them with the same 'but simply can't find them for sale'. Has any member encountered the same problem? If so, is there an equivalent tyre? Should like to stay with Pirelli preferably.
Regards

Why do you want to stick with the same, what's your thinking here?

I've run several sets of Michelin PS4's on my GQV over the last 100K km. I stick with the same because they're the best tyre (confidence wet/dry, grip, quiet, ride) i've ever used in Aust (QLD) conditions.
'66 Duetto (lacework of doom)
'73 1600 GT Junior (ensconced)
'03 156 1.9JTD Sportwagon (daily driver)

The Pirelli P7 is more a touring tyre. Depending on your preferences you could look at the Pirelli PZero or the Michelin PS4. I found the PZero on special when I was shopping for tyres and am very happy with them.
Now:
2012 Giulietta QV / 1982 GTV6 3L / 1965 Giulia Sprint GT project

Gone:
2002 156 2.5V6 Manual / 2012 159 2.4JTDm Sportwagon / 1973 2000 GTV (cut & shut) / Alfa 90 (for its engine mounts) / 1970 1750 GTV / 1966 GT Veloce (sacrificed so others may live on)

Thank you to all,
My reason for attempting to buy the same tyre was simply that the car came with them. My knowledge and experience is limited to say the least.

Pirelli PZero,  Michelin PS4. I found the PZero,  Michelin PS4's on my GQV

Any chance of the exact product numbers since, as mentioned, I am pretty unexperienced regarding such things. Not helpless - but I have found a retail tyre outlet will suggest only what they stock.

Just go by the tyre size, load and speed rating as per the tyre placard on your car and check prices online. I usually find tyresales, Jax, Tempe Tyres and Tyroola pretty competitive.

As an alternative, for a good quality but slightly cheaper option (and probably longer lasting than Michelin or Pirelli) for normal wet/dry daily road use (I've never tracked any of my cars), I usually fit Continental MC6s.
Now:    2002 156 GTA
            1981 GTV
Before: 1999 156 V6 Q-auto
            2001 156 V6 (sadly cremated)

Just fitted Pirelli Cinturato Rosso from Tyrepower to my wife's Giulietta Veloce 2018. Seems much better than the OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx that came with the car from new.
