get fuzion.... one of the head instructors from redline racing told me my tires were very good during the track event. And he knows his stuff, he races semi-pro in events like the honda challenge. I got 235/45/17 to try to stay close within stock range for all wheels so not much changes in odo reading... I also highly recommend kosei wheels as they are made by toyota and used in many professional toyota racing cars.

Use all 3 Pedals at once
I tried getting the Pirelli P Zero Nero (non M+S) in 215/50/17 but all the places I call either say that tire doesn't exist or that the size doesn't exist in that tire.
So, I emailed Pirelli and told them my dilemma. I also told them that the size was listed on their website.
Here's the email:
Message: I have been searching for your Pirelli P Zero Nero in the size
P215/50 R17 with no luck. They are listed on the USA Pirelli website,
but when I call an authorized Pirelli retailer, they either say it is
not available or it is not made in that size. I really want to try this
tire out and would greatly appreciate it if you could steer me in the
right direction? Thank You
Response:
The requested tire is no longer available. We apologize for the
inconvenience. Thanks

Sadly, I don't believe that size was ever available in the M&S. You can sub to the following for the PZero-Nero M&S Size: 225/45WR17, this size is listed as OK to use on tire-rack... The only drawback is that this tire is about 1.9% smaller diameter from stock, and about .5 inches shorter in over-all height. That will mean that when the car is travelling at 60mph, your speedo will read 61mph. Not a huge deal. My conti-extreme's are starting to get a bit noisy, so I'm seriously looking at replacing them with the M&S 225/45-17's this summer.

thinking about either getting the Fuzion ZRi (Ultra High Performance Summer) or the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S (Ultra High Performance All-Season), i live in seattle where it rains alot, do you think that really matters? since summer is coming up i might get the fuzion and save about 20$ per wheel....what do you guys think?

I was looking at the Kumhos', they came out second best against the Pirelli's by only a small amount.... but like you, I came across some complaints that they were wearing faster than normal. What was interesting was the Pirelli Nero M&S's were wearing much better than expected, so.....

??Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 or Kumho ECSTA ASX??, they both had mostly good reviews, however there were a few bad ones about tread wear and them not lasting long.....what do you guys think would be the best choice for me if i drive up to about 15 miles a day max?

Use all 3 Pedals at once
Can anyone point me to where I can get a set of Pirelli P Zero Nero's?
It seems that you guys are able to get yourselves a set, whereas in my area they are saying they are discontinued or are not available in the stock size
Thanks in advance for any advice
