smaller front tire size

[jmonté]

Hi,

I'm looking at a great deal on some P-zero Corsa, but the available sizes are not exactly what's on my 997-1.

It's presently on :

Front: 235/40-18 Rim Width 8" and Rear: 265/40-18 Rim Width 10 "RE050A Pole Position

The available pirelli are :

P-ZERO CORSA 88Y 225/40R18

P-ZERO CORSA 101Y XL265/40R18

Now , is it going to make a big difference on the track (DE)?

What you guys think?

P.S. they make

P-ZERO CORSA 91Y 235/40R18,

but there's only 1 available (they're discontinued)

Pirelli Zero Corsa is not even approved by Porsche for street use, make at least a choice of tyre types which are approved before you goes on track. A good deal at first sight could be expensive at the end of the ride IMHO.

It's N6 according to the manufacturer and Dot legal.

I guess their not the safest tires to drive on the street , but it seems ok for driver's schools and lapping ?

thanks for the advice

I'm using P Zero Corsa 235s and 305s and they are great tires but not recommended for rain.
