I noticed that Pirelli makes their PZero Competition tires in 285/30-18 sizes. Note that these are R-compound tires, and are not listed on Tire Rack's site. I would like to get some of these, but I don't know where to get them from. I also hear there is a replacement (called the Corsa?) coming soon that might also meet my needs, which are a sticky tire with a UTQG treadwear rating of 60 or higher.

I didn't have much luck searching the net. Where can I get these from?

Thanks,

Max,

Contact my sponsor, Doug Livingston of Autosport Outfitters. Copy and paste their website in my sig, or just call Doug Livingston directly via cell phone @ 317-289-7221 (don't know if you need to dial the area code here), or at his shop at 317-876-1633, or at his home at 317-876-1631.

He can source the P-Zero Cs at full tread depth of 8/32nds or you can have them delivered to you shaved to 4 or 5/32nds (or to whatever depth YOU specify). Track racing in a warm climate, I'd probably go with 4/32nds (IMHO).

Doug has not mentioned anything about the Corsas, but they are due to replace the P-Zero Cs (probably when the Cs inventory is completely out?).

Please be sure you mention I sent you to Doug!

FWIW, I plan to switch to the P-Zeros myself (235/45-17 front and 255/40-17 rear), once my Hoosiers wear out (that won't take long)

If there's anything else I can do for you with regard to the P-Zero Cs, just send PM me.

Best of luck!

 

Thanks Manny.

It seems like these might be the hot tire for the Open Track Challenge -- Touring classes.

Good luck with the Open Track Challenge! Do us FD Rx7 owners proud by kicking everyone's a**!

Let me know how you like the P-Zero Cs, as I intend to get a set for myself!
