Torch40 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Are the P zeros on our 40ths directional? After a couple of days at the track I would like to switch the fronts. I could not find the answer online for our exact tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07CSM0260 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I switched mine from the left side to the right on both the front & rear. They can't be reversed on the wheel though. I just received my new front tires yesterday after the back order on the PZero's. I am going to try the Nitto 555 Extremes next after these wear out (3 - 5 track sessions). I found them for $136.00 each instead of $425 - $495 per tire for the Pirelli's. Did you ever track the car before the conversion? Man, the 40th is a great ride!!!!

Dr. Jon What size nittos are you putting on? I'm assuming you're staying with the 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Don't all directional tires have arrows on them to denote the direction of rotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch40 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Don't all directional tires have arrows on them to denote the direction of rotation? I don't know but it does say "outside". Didn't see any arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07CSM0260 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 What size nittos are you putting on? I'm assuming you're staying with the 20's Yeah, I bought another set of 20" razors for track use. Should have bought another 18" set instead. You can get the used track tires for $40 - $90 each with very little use in the 18's but nothing in the 20's.

I would but my wife decided she likes them better on her SGT and her SGT wheels wont fit over the brakes. I may wait until I can find a set of take off wheels from an upgrade. I'm guessing those are still running around $1000.00 to get a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc, I believe the 18 inch razors do not fit over the big breaks. You should be able to get a set of oem wheels and tires for around a thousand.

I could not find the answer online for our exact tire. No they are not Directional they are Asymmetrical. There is no such thing as uni-directional (don't let the tyre dealership tell you other wise) P zeros are one of a handful of tyres that are high performance and also have a neutral thread on them. They are also the best in high performance asymmetrical / neutral thread. I had P zero nero on my car for a while and I LOVED them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
