YEAH! Thank You!

Guys,
Do the Corsa's have enough grip for 800 RWHP? I have been running Kumho Ecsta tires and they work awesome but they are not Zero Pressure tires.

I don't think the corsas are zero pressure, but im wondering the same question. Have a Roe car 667/704 with PS2's that need to be replaced, debating these corsas or Drag radials for my next set..as I want more grip.

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

CORSA wont have the straight-line grip of a Drag Radial, but no Drag radial will have the cornering grip of a CORSA!

We should have front Corsa tires available by mid February if not sooner. Once front Corsa tires become available an update will be posted. There are currently no availability issues with the other 3 tires.

More tires arrived this week. Orders can be filled again.

Anyone using the P Zero's on a GEN II with 18/19 setup ?. If so are there any rubbing issues using the 295 up front and 355 out back. Thanks

In need of tires.... For a guy that just likes to go out and have fun on the street what tire would be the best? P zero or Corsa?

I'm going to go with the regular P Zeros, when my Corsas need replacing (later this year probably) as I don't track the car, and they are less expensive.

Pirelli Viper tire sizes are back in stock!

[Derek Short]

I'm looking to order up some. How long is the wait time to get them after order is placed?

[cgstealth]

So I have now called twice leaving my number and e-mail trying to get tires. No luck yet.

[canadian viper]

same here. i have had no luck so far. good news is the price. the bad news.............................. can not get a reply from them.

I'll see what I can do.

[smhog]

I talked with Heather last week and she said they have the P Zeros in stock. No idea on delivery times.

[daytonprowler]

I've emailed David on this thread.

Try Jon at PartsRack. I just ordered a set of PZeros from him for basically the same price as the VOA Pirelli deal with shipping and sales tax considered.

I just got my set from JonB as well. The rear set was manufactured Dec. 2012 and the fronts January 2013. I only mention this for those who will use the tires at events that check the date codes (like NVE 1).

According to the tracking numbers I should receive my set on Friday so I don't know the manufactured dates yet. I think the tires were shipped directly from Pirelli.

[J TNT]

Thanks for the heads up , was hoping for newer dates for events .

Save your packing slips/invoice to show Tech Inspectors that the 2013 date tires were first sold and placed in-service in 2015. Certain events like Silver State and One Lap will take this into consideration. I cannot believe that VOA / SRT at events would not, so long as you have that proof.

A new tire that has never been stretched by inflating, and therefore never heat-cycled by driving, only loses about 2-3%/yr of its original traction while in proper new-tire storage. So a 2013 NEW tire is still at 95-96% of OE grip and traction. Once a tire is stretched-inflated and heated it begins to oxidize and harden at a faster rate, and the softer the tire (CORSA, CUPS, R888, etc) the faster it hardens.

Good information, thank you. Yet another reason why you are a great asset to the Viper community. Hope you are well!

It would be interesting to note the tire manufactured dates even if your purchasing a new Gen V. If your picking up a new 2013 the tire manufactured dates are probably 2012. Most people buying a new car don't even check the tire manufactured dates.

Hi Guys

Sorry for the delay in responding to this tread. I have been working on a solution to improve our respond time on these orders.

Another person within Pirelli has been identified to process the Viper orders.
You may use the following contact information for ordering your tires.

Charlotte Carpenter
charlotte.carpenter@pirelli.com
+1 (248) 552-7508

You may use Charlotte as the first point of contact, while still copying Michael and Heather (if needed.)

Thanks,
David

JonB...when inflating new tires, do you recommend nitrogen fill ? I have always believed in nitrogen because it has bigger molecules if a leak develops, stays at pressure longer, and less moisture in the tire that helps to keep the rubber fresh as well as less temp swings when running hard on the tires....my $.02

[djc986]

Nitrogen has it's place in motorsports / racing applications.

It is basically useless for passenger cars. Don't waste your money. Just check your inflation on a regular basis to make sure your tires are proper inflated.

What David said.....expansion minimized for racing applications. Ill add One minor nit:

Nitrogen is not an oxidizer as is [Atmospheric] oxygen. If you are long-time storing an inflated, collectible tire (or wanting to stretch its useful life to the very max) there isless seepage and much less internal oxidation on the INSIDE with NI. Your tire might not 'age out' as fast. But most owners wear out their tires.
