Tire Options that will fit GM 21" rims

I am looking for optional sizes that will fit the 21" GM rims offered for our camaros. I have them and like the wheels, but the only tires I find are the P-Zeros in our size. Here are the tire sizes for reference:

245/40ZR21 - Front
275/35ZR21 - Back

What other performace tires will fit our wheels? Can't see spending almost 500 dollars a tire for the Pirellis.

Any info would be appreciated.

BTW the wheels came on the car I didn't buy them so no bashing please.

There are really only a handful of tires that you'll be able to choose from. 21" tires aren't common and the manufacturers know it. 20", 22", and 24" will all be cheaper than the 21's. Not sure you'll find much under about $400/tire.

From the sticky thread on tire sizes:

Quote:
Recommended 21" tires for 2010 Camaro
245/40-21 = 28.7" tall, 8.0-8.5 wheel
255/40-21 = 29.0" tall, 8.0-8.5 wheel
265/35-21 = 28.3" tall, 8.5-9.0 wheel
275/35-21 = 28.6" tall, 9.0-9.5 wheel
285/35-21 = 28.9" tall, 9.5-10.0 wheel
295/35-21 = 29.1" tall, 10.0-10.5 wheel
305/30-21 = 28.2" tall, 10.0-11.0 wheel
315/30-21 = 28.4" tall, 10.5-11.0 wheel
