Default Re: 350%

how are they for the street/rain? Not like it rains alot in southern california but just when it does I don't feel like losing control of the car.

I will need new tires in about 5k and I am looking for an upgrade. I was thinking about the Bridgestones but I don't want to get larger tires. I want to stick with a 255.

Also, where can you get them in the stock size?

Thanks,

Matt

Default Try...

Can be special ordered from other shops. Theses are for the "Corsa System".

Also, Wheel Enhancements could special order for you. (http://www.wheelenhancement.com/index.php?t=TireDetail&id=10)

BTW, I had a set of Michelin Pilot Sports Cups on a previous GT3...very slick in rainy weather. Go with the P-Corsa's if you're going to keep for daily use.<ul><li><a href="http://superbuytires.com/tires/model/Pirelli/Pzero+Corsa+System/">CLICKY</a></li></ul>

Default Re: Try...

yes but with the corsa system you can't rotate the tires. So this will be a problem.

Any other suggestions for replacement in the stock size tire that are better than the p zeros?

Thanks

Default If your looking for an extreme or max performance summer tire...

...to replace the P-Rosso's, I'd go with the following:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
Continental ContiSportContact 3

I've driven on the first two, not the latter (but I'm hearing very good things 'bout the latest Conti).

All are excellent choices in stock sizes.

Default 275/30 ZR19 Bridgestone RE-01R

Not stock size, but it does work on the stock rims and has "legendary" performance at a good price. Several of us are running them.

Default I have a set of corsas for another car...

And they are the Pirelli equivalent of the PS Cups. I do not recommend them unless your car is primarily a track car. They are stickier (once they are warm) but the difference on the road is marginal, and the tread wear is terrible in comparison. Expect to get about 3000 miles tops on a car as heavy as an RS4.

And that's if you can find them. I had a devil of a time. Pirelli has discontinued many sizes, including the size for the 360 CS, a car the tire was developed for. Sucks to have a legendary ride and not be able to get OEM tires 3 years later.

Stick with the Rosso's, go to PS2's, or get the 275 RE-01R if you have to have it sticky (I am going with the Bridgestones when my stockers are done for).
