Pirelli P-Zero Competition tires.

They're available from Autosport Outfitters. Call Doug Livingston at 289-7221. Visit www.autosportoutfitters.com

Here are the sizes and price list of all Pirelli competition tires available at Autosport:

Please note the MDC price versus retail price. Tell Doug I sent you, and you'll be eligible for the MDC pricing. Pirellis are priced similarly to Hoosier Racing Tires.

For more information on Pirelli P-Zero Competition Circuit Racing Tires, refer to this URL:

Toyos, Hoosiers, and Kumhos are available in that size. Hoosiers are the stickiest if you want to win, but they cost more and don't last as long as the other two.

Honestly, give Falekn Azenis RS a try. Everyone is raving about them. They are grip incredibly well, and have a treadwear rating of 200. Try them, I think you'll be happy.

Exclamation But the Pirellis give longer performance

at least that's what I've read from racers who've used both Hoosiers and Pirellis.

they are actually pretty hard to find, in the more popular sizes, because most places sell out of them...but for an FD it should be easier. DiscountTire seems to have a good price.
