I installed my Pirelli P Zero - Asimmetrico that I bought from The Tire Rack. This is a photo of my rear 335/35/ YR17 mounted.

Actually, I have 2 different types of tires on my car:

Front: BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KD 245-40 YR-17. Y rated is 180 MPH+ These are semi competition tires and very sticky.

Rear: Michelin XGT-Z 335-35 ZR-17

If I were able to get 245-40 in XGT-Zs I would have purchased them, but XGT-Z only had them in 245-45. The same applies with the G-Force. They did have 335-35, but only in KDR racing tires, but not in KD street tires.

You can see the difference in size between the 335/35 17ZR and the 245/40 17's. The larger tire is 26" in diameter and the smaller is 24.7". I went with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I originally wanted the Perelli P-Zeros but the Rossa version didn't come in the 335 size and the Asymmetrical version had numerous complaints about it being very noisy and a tendency to follow whatever grooves were in the road. The Michelins got very good reviews from users at the Tire Rack so I went with them. The cost was about equal.

Duncan's - Rear Wheels

I picked up those Michelin Pilot MXX3 335/35/17s and a pair of 235/40/17's (the 235's will work just fine) from Tire Rack. Great deal.

I used the Pirelli P-Zero - Assymetrico for Hectors car.

I am using 245/40 ZR17s for the front and 335/35 ZR17s for the back. I bought Dunlop tires from the Tire Rack. That was 4 years ago when I was just starting out. Only have about 5 miles on them so far. Will go with Pirellis when I need new ones.

Rear tires 335/35/17 Pirelli P Zero I got this set off ebay for $550 USD - brand new. I don't have the front tires yet but will go with OEM sizes.

The wheels are polished 18" Replica Diablo Roadster wheels from North American Exotic Replica Cars.



Finding a place to mount 13" wide 18" tires and balance them, additional work and cost. ;-)

Here are a couple shots of the rear wheels. Now all I have to do is attach them, then I can have my girlfriend push me around and make engine noises....

My tire sizes are 235/40zr17 and 315/35/zr17. It is some very wild looking tread design.

Ron Boudreau

I just bought these Dunlop tires from tirerack.com. the fronts were $138 and the rears $266 each. Notice the large channels for water dispersion and anti hydroplaning. They are the lowest price tires I could find for the Diablo.

When using a rubber conditioner, look for products that restore moisture to the tire and protect it against UV light. As tires age, they turn color from black to gray, this is because tires absorb the light and dissipate it as heat. To avoid your tires from loosing color, you should always use quality tire conditioners from name brand manufactures. Many of the products you find in department stores end up doing more damage in the long run then you might think.
