Are you happy with them so far and how much life left on rears?

A tire should be chosen by the needs of the driver and decided by the budget... what are they?

the rossos are a very nice tire. I would stick with those and maybe upgrade the size. I would only change the rears out. I have an extra stock set of 2 pzero rosso 275/40/20 if you are interested. pm me.

I thought the Rossos were one of the worst tires I have had on my Saleens, and I have logged hundreds of thousands of miles on mine.

If you wanted to stick with a Pirelli tire I would suggest getting the PZero (non-Rosso).

I thought the Rosso was a fine tire, but the PZero Nero is what I'd look to for replacement.

The Rosso & the Nero (even more so) are both "rain tires" and offer much less grip in the dry vs the "regular" PZero.
