Default Re: 19" Racing Slicks

I just got a pair of these in a 285/35 19. I will try them this spring. I bought another set of SRT 6 wheels to mount them on. From the reviews they are very soft only lasting 400-500 miles on road courses. We will see.

The P Zero Corsa System combines two of Pirelli's DOT-legal Competition tire designs that have been developed for the drivers of high-powered, super sports cars primarily for use at drivers' schools and lapping days conducted on race tracks. Also Original Equipment for the road versions of Ferrari 360 Challenge and Porsche GT3 cars, the P Zero Corsa System was designed to maximize a car's performance and satisfy even the most demanding driver in terms of dry handling and braking without abandoning wet performance and noise comfort. The P Zero Corsa System incorporates Pirelli's racing experience to enhance driving satisfaction at the limits.
P Zero Corsa System includes P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires for the front and P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico tires for the rear. The directional front tires penetrate the water surface, clearing a path for the rears, which complete water dispersal for increased driving control.
On the outside, the P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires mold Pirelli's innovative racing tread compound into a semi-slick, V-shaped directional tread design. On the inside, ultra-light, flexible belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon and a very stiff sidewall construction result in a wide footprint area to enhance dry grip while directional grooves increase hydroplaning resistance.
P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico's asymmetrical design features a semi-slick, low void ratio and a large external shoulder structure with a minimum number of grooves to eliminate the blocky structure of a conventional pattern. The P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico's asymmetric and directional tread design requires separate "left" and "right" side tires for the vehicle as branded on each tire's sidewall. On the inside, the P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico tires feature highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to enhance steering precision and provide high-speed capability while reducing weight.
NOTE: While it is recommended that P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires only be used on the front axle positions of mid- and rear-engine cars, P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico tires can also be used on all of a vehicle's wheel positions, as well as can be combined in axle pairs with P Zero Corsa (non-System) tires on the other axle.
The P Zero Corsa System tires are molded with 6/32" of tread depth in their grooves and are left unshaved for use on damp tracks, or shaved to between 3/32" to 4/32" of tread depth for use on dry tracks.
Caution: The P Zero Corsa System tires are not recommended for high-speed driving on extremely wet roads with standing water where there is the risk of hydroplaning. This is especially true of shaved or worn tires. Drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds in these conditions.
