thanks! I ordered from Sunset Imports of Oregon since I am in CA. www.sunsetimports.com 503.641.8600 - 800.346.0182. price was about $275 delivered via ups. Suncoast Porsche www.e-partssales.com - Florida is another option if you are east coast.

i used the part number shown on the invoice here for my 02' c2:

Careful on these, my installer told me the asimetricos have not been produced in a few years, so the tires may not be totally fresh. I bought a set from ebay.. sure enough they were dated 2004 or so.

Thanks for the information, is your set performing well? I currently have Rosso's, but I wanted to try something a little softer. I've read that Pirelli's are sometimes out of round?

Yeah, I really like them. I went a size smaller on my fronts with the asimetricos than I had with the previous Rosso's and the ride is still softer with the smaller asimetricos. The Rossos were not too worn down. I cannot yet comment on grip, only had two good drives with them.

I have never had an issue with round- 3 pirelli p-zero sets on 2 porsches
