New year, new tyres - which is best?

[Scooby P1]

Age old debate I know.

Finally, I have to admit to myself that my P Zero Rossos are now a bit hard and have lost grip. Even though they don't look far off brand new! (due to very low mileage)

I am tempted, when spring returns, by upgrading to Pilot Sport Cup 2s but I am not sure if they come in the standard sizes? (225/40 + 265/35) can anyone confirm?

My favourite is Pirelli Trofeo R (looks of course are the biggest decision factor when choosing tyres of course!) but again the fronts only come in 235/40. Will they fit and work without rubbing? Will they look a bit sh*t because ultimately they are slightly higher profile as it's 40% of 235 instead of 225.

So to my final question, what do we think of the P Zero Corsa assimetrico 2? Once again, I seem only able to find the rears, but they are nice and cheap from Camskill (I know a lot of you mention them time and time again).

Can anyone find any of the three above in the right sizes for both front and back? If not, can I get the Trofeo R's in the wrong size on the front or will that annoy me long term? (dont forget tyres tend to last me 3 years!)

Thanks and happy new year all.

I bought some pilot sport cups in standard sizes last June.
Only done a couple of hundred miles and one track day on them but so far they feel very grippy!
Currently available on tyre leader for £640 a set:
£132 for fronts:

£187 for the rears:

That's a great price for them!
Cheers,

Thanks for that David, but although it sounds absurd, I prefer the look of the Trofeo Rs or would rather have Pilo Cup 2s!

But if i don't succeed on the sizes of those, i'll probably follow your lead on the cups at that price!

Cheers

Blimey, you mean your going to use the car this year !!!

Well, with two minnows it no longer can ever be used as a weekend getaway car so trackdays are the only option really. And I certainly don't need a tyre that works in the wet!! Ha ha

Heard it all now!
I don't care what they look like as long as they are nice and sticky!!
