p zero corsa system
Can any one get these tires? They seem to be out of stock and are not coming back to the US. I need 255/35/19 and a 295/30/19. Let me know what you guys think.

if so you could also look at the R888 from Toyo and the NT-01 from NITTO (same basic tire as the R888). Both are excellent and offer outstanding grip, cornering stability, and tread life (for a track tire). One benefit is that they don't ride half poorly for what they are intended to do.
I personally had bad luck with the corsa as they totally failed and fell apart in once session.

I bought the TOYO R888 and love them, would not change them for any tire out there, incredible performance specially when the weather is Hot...

So While 305 would be great fun, I think there could be issues.
But the sport cup is a great tire for sure. But after testing the NT-01 I think it has a serious competitor for a lower price.

R-comp tires run far wider than a normal street tire so a 305 Sport Cup will likely have serious rubbing issues. In measurements, a NT-01 in 275/35/18 is as large as a 285/35/18 street tire and even larger than some.

I never personally tired the NT-01 but heard great things about them. Even some very good things about the Nitto Invo (not a R compound of course, just a regular street tire).

It is for my sl65 running stock wheels. I wanted the cups but the fronts only come in 235/35/19. I am just looking for a sticky tire that can help the car hook up. I do want a tire I can drive on though. I also need a tire that can handle high speeds on the highway. The car gets driven once every 7-10 days. Any ideas on a good sticky tire? Would like to stay with factory size on the front and maybe a bit wider in the rear.
