They said they can do the Yoko AVS ES100 or the Pirelli P Zero Nero for $250. The Pirelli are on sale from $450 down to $250 so I will probably go with them.

They are 2 different tyres. If you want to hook up, the the T1R wins hands down. They are also VERY quite and while mine are ending their service life, they still barely tram line. They are a very sticky tyre for a radial. They are softer that the 452's so they wont last as long. Very good in the wet.If you like twisty stuff, feel and a little more service life, the 452's are better than the T1R. They are more precise and have a lot more feel than the T1R. They do tend to tram line a fair bit and with less wear. Very good in the wet.I'll be going the T1R's again.BTW, $250 for the 452's sound very cheap. When I was looking for my last set, they were both around the same price. Are you sure that's right?

There seems to be room for bigger brakes with them too. Flash tune and injectors are next on the list though.
