Any pics of Pirelli's on a TL?

I found some threads using search that turned up plenty of info on the Pirelli's, but the pics referenced in those threads are in the gallery which we all know is not working currently. I'd really like to see what they look like on a TL ASAP because I want to order them today!!! Also, to those who have these tires, is there any flatspotting?

Thanks

I should have been more clear. I want to see pics of the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S tires.

I just ordered those tires for my car. As soon as I get them put on I will email you pictures. I chose the Pirelli P Zero Nero M-S over the Michelins because of the consumer rating and price.

Go ahead and send me a PM with your email address.

I'm not trying to be arguementative here, honest, this question is strictly out of curiosity: What do hope to learn form these pics? Other than a possible difference in how far they extend over the edge of the wheel, won't they generally appear similar to any identically sized, black wall/black letter tire from a feet away? Pretty much any tire you choose will probably outperform the EL42s anyway.

good luck with the Pirellis. I have had nothing but problems with Pirellis on Bimmers and Acuras. I had the P7000 Supersport Summer which rode like Crap. I had 19 PZERO Rosso's on my 745i and they rode like crap. be careful with pirelli's, they have been a nightmare for me personally. 3 sets, 3 bad experiences. In my experience, I prefer Nitto or Michelins...PERIOD.

Mostly, I want to see the pictures that are referenced in other threads. The ones that are supposedly in member's galleries. But since I can't view any galleries I was hoping someone would host/post them.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I can place my order now. No flatspotting then I assume?

BTW - I am going with 245/40-18's to go on the 18" OEM's.

Great pics!

If you haven't done so already, spend a couple of bucks on chrome tire valve stems and caps. Makes a big diff.
