Pirelli Scorpion Zero Tires
Now that I have cleaned/polished my aluminum rims and the white lettering done, what do you think?
Here's the tread.

They look great! :cool:
(and just like mine, except I turned the white letters in!!) :cheers:
I love the way those tires handle and feel... I was a little worried about putting "SUV tires" :rolleyes: on my Vette, but I'm a believer now! :hurray:

Turned white letters in? :confused:
Mine are black lettering on both sides, that is why I had the white lettering done.

I haven't autocrossed in them but I can take off ramps at a good clip. :thumbs:
In my neck of the woods, heading east on Rte 100 and exiting onto rte 724 ( a 270 degree off ramp) I can do about 60 mph easily. It's marked at 30 mph.
The corner is a little hard on my ribs, but that's the wife jabbing me :lolg:
