Pirelli 315/35-20? Do they really exist??

My first call to buy two of these from Discount Tire reveals they need to call Pirelli because they don't have any in N. America! Give me a break! So hey, posting this up, anyone know where two "Y" rated tires like this are at? I'll buy them NOW. I guess IF we find them we also have to buy into their run flat option also. I am good with all of that but hey Pirelli if you list a tire please make them available! I'll post up the results of the search later. If those don't work, we are looking into Michellin, but my problem with them is they don't make a 275/40 for the OEM front size. Any other size don't match the 315 ride height. Anyone have another sticky idea, because I have about $5000 in wheels coming to make this thing a sticky road machine.

I saw your post on the wheels yesterday. I have not heard from Bismarck, but he told me they were going to cut mine right after yours. FYI I ordered a different finish/color.

I have the Nitto DR's on my stock set. I am going to keep those for racing. I really don't like the DR for everyday use. So I was trying to save a few bucks for the first time, reuse the Pirelli tires off my stock backs for my new fronts and put the matching 315's on the new 10.5". We shall see what happens. Discount is researching Pirelli today and if they fail, they are going to look at Pilot Super Sports. I see nothing that works up front, but I will let them think about it. They said another guy with about 600hp tried the Nitto Invo. He immediately wanted to trade them in, not the expected traction FYI.

I may look at the other Nittos, thanks.

Yep, now the wheels seems easy now, thanks to your find. If Pirelli can't get the 315's a set of Nittos may have to work. So if I don't want the drag radials on the back, which street set does everyone think will stick the best?
Confirmed by Discount Tire only....a Pirelli P-Zero 315/35R20 does not exist. "NONE AVAILABLE AND NO ETA GIVEN FOR ANY FUTURE INVENTORY."

Ok edit..I need to tone it down, I have found a set of W rated on the Internet. Ordered them and we will soon see if they ship. I figured chances are small of sustained speeds over 168 mph.
Update, ..... search for them on the Internet several can be found. I have a set of two 315/35R20 P-Zero's on the way to my home!

I was just settling in and decided to look at the forum nice more. You are bad! All cleaned up they look better and better. I think mine get the coatings tomorrow. If I get some different pictures I will have to post up. I like the light weight. Should feel it in the front, the weight stays the same out back since it makes up for the big tires, which is good. The car should feel real nice I think. I want to try some cornering. I miss that with the DR's since day three. This car with mile #5 showing with the service tech riding I pulled a 0.91 corner first try around an exit ramp, they did not even make a peep of a noise. Told him I did not need to break-in the darn suspension system, let's see how that works! I want to go for the full G with the wider backs and see if she holds.

Thanks TSC. I was able to ship the run-flats back I found at another Internet retailer, and have a pair of the 160 treadwear P-Zero from Tire Rack on the way to my house. They should arrive Wednesday. Expecting my wheels NLT Friday.

Yes, well they are 12.75" wide also. Tire Rack sold me two on line. Very challenging to get to fit, but possible. ;)

So the photo is 315/35/ZR20 (106Y) tires on 10.5" custom made rims, correct? What was very challenging? Was it putting the tire on the rim or getting wheel well clearance? I like the look, do you have any 3/4 or side pictures to share as well? What was the offset on your wheels? Spacers? Stock ride height? The spec width for that tire appears to be 12.4 but you're suggesting it's wider? Your car looks great from behind. Thanks in advance!
Wheels are 27mm. Used a variety of spacers, did not matter, those tires ate my inner fender liners up. I believe if you get an effective 20 mm with a 10.5" wheel they may work. That was a couple of years ago. They looked pretty good, they worked like $hit. Nitto NT05 of that size, same deal, don't do it. Let me bring you to today, get a 295/35 or a 305/35 for the 10.5". The 315 is too big for 10.5". I use a Michelin 295/35 PS4S and so far have come within one tenth of a second of my best 0-60 with drag radials! Actually a 285/35 PS4S on an OEM 9.5" wheel has also given me a 3.6 second 0-60 with a low DA once!

It looked great.....
