I have to be honest with you. I have been in the game longer than 10 years and the biggest street tire I have seen is a 345 mm and that was on the Ferrari Enzo. Good luck.

Well the 355/25 was offered a few years ago and tirerack has them listed on back-order. I believe they're the PZero Rosso.

Pirelli makes like every size imaginable. Michelin does make a 365/710 R 540. It was designed especially for the Bugatti. I beleive its the widest street tire ever used on a passenger car. 365 = width (obviously), 710 = overall diameter, and 540 = rim diameter (approx. 20 ")

Pirelli PZERRO ROSSO

almost positive they have a 355/25 19

call and ask. i highly doubt most shops/stores will carry those sizes b/c they are rarely purchased..

I Have the 355-25-19 P-ZERO ROSSO's on my car right now and I hope that I never have to buy another set. I dont want to pay almost 600 a tire anytime soon.

Guessing that's the "sleeper" setup.... vs the slicks. Do those actually hook or just spin till 100?

They might as well be on ICE. I thought that maybe the would kind of hook but they dont at all. I guess the no sidewall is just not enought for my car.

I believe it. I don't think any street tire could hold up to that.

I have started grooving M/T 325-50-15 drag radials for use on the street. I have already drove them in the rain and they seem to do really good and still have the same or close to the same traction in the dry. I still have to add about 300-400 pounds of weight to the back of my car also to make weight for the LSX shootout drag radial class.

What are you using to cut them? I didn't know you were planning on the shootout. That's pretty cool!

Any chance you can give us a shot from behind? How wide of a wheel are you running?

I could not locate that 355 tire, and there is a 355 25 20 tire available, but there were none to be found. I had Forgeline build a set of wheels 19x10 and 20x13 with a 325/25/20 pirelli in hopes of the 355/20 being a reality
