Such as Price... and when they will be available... My V700s will be toast sooner than later (forbes field did a number on them) I think I can get them to last the rest of this season but over the winter I will be making a purchase... any testing data yet???? I have seen pictures and well they both look "fast" !!!!

Alex,
While we are waiting for this tire are there any others you recommend for autocross to fit an MCS with 17x7 rims and tire size roughly 215/45-17? In stock now?

Doesn't have to wear that long. Very good track grip-autocross use not road use (dedicated wheels for the track).
Thanks.

Thanks alex! $221 each!!

Wow, nice tires for the track. I be saving up for these someday and mount them on my centerline RPM rims.

Some info on it from tirerack.com
The P Zero Corsa is Pirelli's DOT-legal Competition tire primarily developed for use on high performance cars at drivers' schools and lapping days conducted on race tracks. The P Zero Corsa incorporates Pirelli's racing experience to enhance driving satisfaction at the limits of performance.

On the outside, The P Zero Corsa uses a high hysteresis tread compound that transfers the vehicle's horsepower to a dry track by developing inspiring grip at high tread temperatures. This tread compound is molded into a unique asymmetric and directional tread pattern that features a sturdy outer shoulder to provide lateral stability and cornering grip, while grooves in the tire's central and inner tread areas enhance wet track handling and braking. The P Zero Corsa's asymmetric and directional tread design requires separate "left" and "right" side tires for the vehicle as branded on each tire's sidewall. On the inside, the P Zero Corsa features highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to enhance steering precision and provide high-speed capability while reducing weight.

The P Zero Corsa is molded with 6/32" of tread depth in its grooves and is available unshaved for use on damp tracks or shaved to between 3/32" to 4/32" of tread depth for use on dry tracks.

Caution: The P Zero Corsa is not recommended for driving on extremely wet roads where there is the risk of hydroplaning. This is especially true of shaved or worn tires. Drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds in these conditions.

Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires feature black letter styling and are available in selected 50-, 45-, 40-, 35- and 30-series; Y-speed rated sizes for 17" and 18" wheel diameters.
