Ok. ok.... I probably waited too long. Does anyone know where I can get the correct size Corsa's? (225/35/19 and 285/35/19) Someone's gotta have 'em.. Stu
Ok - I did some reading. Front tires are the same (no right and left) Rear tires are directional (rights and lefts) As a system, they encompass 3 part numbers... S
Try Sports Car Tire in Delaware.1-800-752-Tire.Has many sizes and brands in stock with reasonable prices.
For what it's worth, I went through the same search for a long time. I finally gave up on finding the Corsa's and got the PS2's, and I really like them so far. For street use in South Florida they do fine, alot better in the rain as well.
Pirellis Corsa System are the best. I recommend going up a size in the front. 235/35-19 and the standard 285/35-19 for the rear. Just got a set two weeks ago from Tire Rack. These tires are available. The 225 front seem to be back ordered for over a year. Also there is a new Corsa rear tire that was listed on Tire Rack and then removed from the website. This is the tire on the new Scuderia and is a higher load rating. 103Y is the rating, but you have to call them now to get it. My rear tires were manufacture dated 1307, very fresh. 13th week of 2007. Recent trip by the back roads up to Monterey and these tires are phenomenal. Pirelli was not at the Concorso this year, it changed to Bridgestone. The Bridgestone product manager said no new extreme performance tire for a year of so. Too bad
If you're tracking your CS, then I can understand the desire to have the 'Corsa System' tires. They will give you the edge. I have mine sitting in my garage for track days for that reason. But if you're not tracking your CS, and anticipate encountering some rainy driving conditions, then I second getting the PS2's. I think they are a great tire and work just fine on my CS for spirited driving as well.
Pirelli Corsa System tires live..... Looks like the fronts are available on Tire Rack right now and one of the rears. Shouldn't take too long to get a full set. Search by size not by car. Many of the tires for Stradale's do not appear on a vehicle search. www.tirerack.com The good news is the 103Y load rating rears are back on the website. I recommend the 103Y's as they are a very fresh tire and will be on the new Scuderia. These tires are amazing!!!
My tire guy just got me the Corsa's in the 285/35/19 & 235/35/19. I had put on the PS2's while looking for the Corsa's. I was hesitant to put the 235's on, but after talking with many I pulled the trigger. Here's the interesting thing. Before mounting the 235 Corsa's we layed them down next to the 225 PS2's. Guess what, the PS2's (225/35/19) are still wider than the Corsa 225/35/19. Can't wait to exercise the new tires tomorrow.
