i have the same rims in black color and was considering the same tire size.

on my previous cars i had those Bridgestone but they become really noise with more then 10 000km so im considering Pirelli P-Zero this time

That's the price we pay for a good track tire. The RE-11 is a great choice for the track. If you go Pirelli they won't give you the same traction and heat resistance on the track. It is a compromise and you have to decide what characteristics matter more to you... track performance or street livability.

In my opinion, 18 inch is better for track use than 19.
