Anyone know of a good place to purchase stock rear Pirelli C55 tires? New or used?

Stock C55 tires are (front) 225x40x18 and (rear) 245x35x18. Stock C55 tires are Continental Contisport Contacts, and they just about suck, worst tire Ive ever owned. They have a tendency to turn normal roads into ice. I've also heard C55s coming with Pzeros. Try Discount Tire, Sears, Tire Rack. Were you live and how much rain/snow you get will determine what kind of tire you will need.
