DID YOU KNOW... OUR STOCK PIRELLI TIRES ARE MADE IN MEXICO OR BRAZIL and that they weigh 5-6 POUNDS MORE!!! THAN THE SAME PIRELLI's MADE IN GERMANY!!!!
The 245/45/20 and 275/40/20 from Germany are 25 and 29 pounds!!!
So for those who really want to SHED a lot from the wheel and tire combo, and run stock tires, then check out the german or italian made pirelli.
Yes they are $500 a tire... but you save 20 pounds total for an extra $800 and run a square setup.
Just thought I would shed some light on this.

They also have better dry grip than our stock crap Pirellis. I had a 295-35-20 Pirelli from a Mercedes on the back of my car and that had as much dry grip as my Yokohama AD08R in dry.
