    Well, it's time to replace the sneakers on my 99 550. I have an incredible opportunity to get a new set Pirelli's FOR FREE!
    The current sizes are 255/40 ZR 18 front and 295/35 ZR 18 rear. I'm leaning toward P Zero Rosso. This is strictly a road car used in fair weather. My questions are:

    - Should I go with Directionale or Asymetrico?
    - If I can't get the 255/40s, what's the correct alternative size?
    - Anyone care to recommend an alternative Pirelli model?

    Thanks for forr input.

    I forgot to mention that the car is equipped with the optional Speedline modular wheels.

    Hi,

    - Fronts Direzionale, Rears Assymetrico, better tracking in the wet tho' not really 'feelable' unless yer really pushing it!
    - 265/35/18 but not sure whether you can have that size by Pirelli, in the States.
    - New Pzero 'Hero'. Assymetrical pattern, front and rear and OEM on the new 'hi-po' models.

    I just put Bridgestone SO-2s on my 2000 550 and am very pleased. I found the Pirelli's to be noisy.
