Found a local deal on tires....ugh

[dubcitySHO]

I found a set of brand new take off Pirelli P Zero’s locally for a smoking deal.  Looked at them in person, and they are brand new. 

Problem is they are only a 35 series sidewall so I think the will look ridiculous.  If they weren’t such a good deal I wouldn’t even be partially interested but for $400 for the set it’s hard to walk away from.

How bad would that low of a profile tire look on my stock suspension SHO?

I cannot speak to how off it would look..  But, if you are in need of tires and have found these at a great price like this, maybe take to opportunity and saved $ and put it into H&R springs?  I mean if you planned to spend 800+ lets say, you could still spend that much and get springs, etc done.  Just don't tell the significant other, tell them that tires is $800 and then make it happen!

Joking aside that is usually what I do when I find a deal on something that I knew I needed and was budgeting for, take the savings and pay it forward into other wants.

I don't NEED them, just hate to miss out on a deal. 

I'll probably buy them, mount 2, see how much gap I have, take them off, and try and make a buck on them.

There is about an inch difference in diameter between the 40 series and 35 series P Zeros....about 3.6%  Speedometer would be off about 2.5 MPH at 60 MPH.

P Zeros are pretty easy to come by.  Mustang guys replace them quickly.  They are an older design and not up to the standards of some of the competition.

I wouldn't run them in a climate where it gets cold unless you have different tires for winter or just park the car until summer.

Not a fan, way better tires cheaper, gmax-05 or cooper zeon to name 2....

I passed on them, and they found a new home.  I don't plan on lowering the car, and the wheel gap would have been atrocious.
