I am requesting the same. Yokohama seems to be the only brand that will have our size for both front and back.

Why?
Gees, I love my Pirellis. I have had quite a few drag strip runs with my Camaro and the stock Pirellis have performed admirably. I have had as low as a 1.78 60 foot time when the car was nearly stock and the tread is lasting very well...over 15K now and still decent. I've tried Goodyear and Michelin on my C5 Corvette and both of those didn't perform well. I would stick with Pirellis.

While the Pirellis are great for summer driving, I switched over to Toyo Proxes 4 for the winter. Great traction, great handling, no more road noise than the Pirellis. And, they are available in the proper sizes.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS = High Performance All-Season (long-lasting) Nitto Invo = Ultra High Performance Summer (not so long-lasting, but very capable street/road course tire) Nitto NT555R = Drag Radial (great comprimise between sticky drag radial with street capability) FYI....as previously mentioned, the PZero's are extremely good tires....if you're happy with how they performed and/or how long they lasted....there's nothing wrong with sticking with the OEM tires. |

I have almost 29,000 on the PZer's and need back tires now. I do love how they handle and I do the track a few times a yr. I do need the high performace and longer lasting. I was thinking about the Nitto Invo but, if they don't last any longer then the PZeo's I might just stay with the PZero's Thanks for everyones input it's important to me.

 If you need a tire with All-Season capability, then you will be thrilled with the Toyo Proxes4 or Toyo Proxes ST2.
