I have them on my Z. I am putting down 425 to the wheels. Good tire and only performance tire I know of that has tread warranty. The stock SS is putting down around 360 RWHP so should have no problem sticking to ground. Since they are not directional, you can at least rotate left to right. Not as stickky as drag radials or slicks of course but they do a good job.

Thanks for the reply and glad to hear a good report on these tires. When you say "I have them on my Z", what car are you actually refering too - Z06 / 370Z / Z28?

What I really want to know is will these alternate sizes work on the GM 21's without any sizing or fitment issues?

Front Pirelli ($454) - 245 / 40 / 21 (28.6" tall by 9.5" Section width)
Rear Pirelli ($521)- 275 / 35 / 21 (28.6" tall x 10.8" Section width)

Continental Front ($197) 245 / 35 / 21 (27.8" tall x 9.8" Section width)
Continental Rear ($223) - 295 / 30 / 21 (28.0" tall x 11.9" Section width)

A local shop here suggested the Michelin PS2 in 265/35-21 and 305/30-21 - of course, I would have custom wheels made for these. Or maybe I will just go 22"? Not sure yet.

How are these tires working out for your? I'm in the same boat, trying to find an alternative.

Thanks!
