Are the occasional run Pirelli P7s still available?  (275/60-15 I think??)

Have you tried Coker tire?  But be sitting down when you see the price

   Pirelli doesn't make rears for Pantera's with 10" Campys, nor does
  anyone else.  If they did, I'd buy all four right now and be very
  happy.  The only reason I'm hesitant to fork over the $300 per Pirelli
  front is because I'm stuck with the crappy rears.

   I would buy the Kumhos and wait on the P-Zeros when I wanted a full
  set.

       No track time, just driving the car for fun.  I get spirited with
       controls, but I will still have my Euro T/As on the rear so I'm
       limited.  One of my front Euro T/As failed internally.  The car
    started
       shaking and pulling pretty hard.  When I pulled the side it was
    pulling
       to off, you could easily see the circumference of the outer side
    of the
       tire was larger than the inside corner.  It made a distinct left
    turn
       when rolled on an flat and even surface...

      I have used Pirelli, Kumho and Falken, no real complaints with any
  of
     them for basic driving,
     how will they be used?
     I have both Pirelli P-Zeros (335/35/17) on one set of wheels on the
  car
     now and use the other set of Kumho's (315/35/17) for road trips like
     Tail of the Dragon, I feel they are more sticky on those roads.

          All,
          I need new front tires--225/50-15s to mount on my 8" Campys.
       Here are
          my choices:
          Pirelli P Zero System (the best, most expensive)
          Kumho Ecsta AST (cheap, don't know anything about them)
          Falken Ziex ZE-912 (same as the Kumho)
          Maxxis MA-Z4S (same as the Kumho and Falken)
          Anyone have any experience with the last three?  The Pirelli is
  a
       sure
          bet, but three times as expensive.
