2010 Track Pack/2011 Brembo 255/40/19

Has anyone priced these puppies?

Looking on tirerack and the lowest priced P-zero was over $300 a tire!!!

I know there are other brand tires that are less, and I figured the pirelli's would be pricey but wasn't expecting them to be that high.

Reason I checked was the track pack 2010 that I have been drooling over. For what 4 replacement P-zero's would cost I could almost buy 4 new 18" wheels and tires.

Fair warning to all...

Yep. Their pricing has been mentioned in a couple threads now. I'd probably go with a different wheel/tire combo, or just go with a set of General Exclaim UHPs if they make a similar 19" size. I've had those tires before, and they were great for daily driving. Good dry grip, good wet grip and relatively cheap.

I plan to get a set of 18" wheels that fit the car. Then I can get 255/45ZR18's. Only 2/3rds the price of the 19's

I hear you. In my case, I am looking at a set of rims for the track, and since I expect to be needing rubber more often, going to 18" will come close to paying for itself, in addition to being lighter.

While the Pirelli's are a good tire, I don't think they're good for the cost. I'd look at going with another tire once those are toast and get something a little more cost effective. Ventus V12 Evos, Dunlop Direzza Star Specs, or even some PS/2s might be an option for the price.

My Corvette tires (the C5) were $400 a piece. Not mch phases me but I'm glad I didn't get some crazy wheels with mine. 18's are big enough, thanks.
