I still have all 4 stock tires from 2008 on mine, of course there are only 2200 miles on them.

I did order a set of the PZeros today, couldn't pass on the price. Website said they were out, called and got them ordered.

I just ordered 2 today. Said they were in stock and I got two tracking numbers. I'm assuming that I'll see them in two or three days.

And just an FYI, they have matching fronts on sale too. Fronts are run flat, but still P Zeroes in size 285/35-18. Matched set!

so, you mixed a run flat front with a non run flat rear? How's that going to drive?

now that is the question of the day! I personally cant stand the way a runflat tire feels to be honest...they feel incredibly to stiff and compared to non-runflat tires, they feel like you have 50psi in them. There is no forgivness since the sidewalls are so hard. Personally, I think you will def feel the difference between the non runflat and the runflats up front and its going to feel a little bit akward since the fronts are so stiff and the rears are extremely soft with these tires..but hell man you cant pass up the price if you got a matching set of all 4 tires that 5 months ago I spent close to $1391.55, to be exact lol.... I would MUCH rather have the difference in my pocket...I'm going to try and order some since I just saw this thread because I havent got on in a while because work has been keeping me extremely occupied which sucks! We will see if they still have just 2 which is all I want. Dont need them but me saving a couple hundred on a tire, well thats something def worth buying for future use.

To answer your question, I dont think it is going to feel that good since all the stiffness from the runflats in the front are going to come all the way up and you will feel it in the steering wheel when you go over a bump or crack in the street.. hell even if you go over the little lane dividers you wil be able to feel the runflats in front. HARD CHOICE but if you can deal with it, you damn sure got one hell of a deal for a semi-matching set of brand new Pirelli tires. Technically not 100% matching since the fronts are a different compound but overall, a MATCHING SET my friend!

These would be great to put on if you were selling your car to get a new C7 Z ect..Since they will be brand new matching set of Pirelli P-zero tires all around, instead of 50% front and 30% rear Nitto Envos which in my opinion, makes a big difference to someone that is looking to buy a c6 z06, especially for how much you got all 4 tires for.

wish me luck, hopefully they still have just 2 left

If I were to run these tires in the back with a 19x12 and I wanted to run a 19" front(19x10) what tire size up front should I run? Was doing a little bit of research and found that the height of my current 18" with a 275/35/18 came close to the same total diameter of a 295/30/19. What does everyone recommend to stay within specs for the traction control/active handling?

I put 285/35/18 p-zero's on the front non run flat. Bought them all at once on Tire Rack. No problems at all with anything. Just a great set of tires for $800 shipped to my door.

Wondering if tire shops such as discount tire would mount them? At what age stamp will they not mount a tire if they're "too old"?

I got my 355's installed and on yesterday and no issues with fit on the rim or on the car and looks great. Now I just need the current Hurricane to go somewhere else so I can take the car out for some fun.

I have the stock polished aluminum 12" rim. I cannot get any pics until this annoying hurricane goes away, all it's been doing here is raining since Monday night.

I have them on my car too. On the stock rear wheels. Fit just fine. Autocrossed with them and they didn't rub anything, then drove them from Charleston SC to Charlotte NC using all the back roads. Rode really nice. Good bargain.

I got matching 285/35/18 for the front. Same thing, no rubs, ride just fine.

All in all, pretty happy with them.

I'm not much of a camera guy and am currently evacuated away from home due to the hurricane. If I think of it I'll get some pictures.

Here are a couple shots of the P-Zeros 285/35/18 front and 355/30/19 in the back. I've logged ±100 miles and no rubbing. They feel a lot softer over small bumps in the road and seem to grip a lot better around the on ramp!

Great deal for the set - thanks for the heads up!

Well, the Nitto Invo's on the front that still had about 30-35% tread left... passenger side apparently popped a belt. 16 grams off, and it's not up and down vibrations. Its side to side unable to be balanced. Thanks Nitto.

Just ordered the 285-35-18 P-Zero's from TireRack and they'll be here tomorrow. It's going to be nice to be all matchy-matchy :

I think the car looks really good with the 355s on the back. They fit the widebody concept nicely. I wish that the 295/30 fronts were not out of stock as I'd have bought them instead of the 285/35..

Purchased these tires last Tuesday skeptical if they would fit my stock 12" split 5 spoke wheels in the rear and sure enough THEY FIT!! I ordered the matching 285/35/18's for the front at the same time because I like having all four matching tires. Got them in the very next day belive it or not which i find amazing! Took them up to Discount Tire and sure enough, they fit with absolutely NO rubbing issues whatsoever! I cant belive how incredible these tires grip! Went to Motorsports Ranch in Cresson TX yesterday and as soon as they got warm, WOW!! Honestly some of the best tires I have purchased even compared to Michelin Pilot cup 2 tires! They are soft and look absolutely freaking amazing from the back end of the car! HAHA I had them sent to my office and my secretary called me asking if I had ordered a set of "tractor tires" they are so wide lol!! Before posting this I went ahead and ordered 6 more because you honestly cant beat the price for what your getting!! They handled amazing on the track and were sticky sticky sticky!! I went thru 5 30 min sessions and they still look BRAND NEW!! They even look more "flush" on the front and rear and fill out the fenders extremely well! From now on this is the size I will be running from now on compared to a 335/30/19. They are truly an amazing tire and with the 285/35/18 upfront I have had no Active handling/traction lights come on while driving. $698.00 shipped to my door! Cant believe I got all 4 tires for my C6 Z06 for that price! Thats about $100 more than I usually pay for ONE SINGLE tire!! Awesome deal and I DEF recommend you get them while you can because at $101.98 a tire, you cant go wrong!
