For the F1 fans. Know anything about these tires? Here is Planet Cyclery pitch

The legend returns…
In 1909, 30 of the 49 finishers in the Giro D'Italia were riding Pirelli tires. Since then, they shut down bike tire operations to focus on high-end racing tires for cars and motorcycles. Now they're back, and they're bringing with them everything they learned from over 350 championships in F1 and Superbike. The P ZERO tires borrow their name and plenty of technology from Pirelli's F1 line, and come in three varieties: the rugged VELO 4S, the lightning-fast and super-grippy VELO TT, and the new crown jewel of road clinchers, the VELO.

Pirelli doesn't do anything slowly, so act fast! Available while supplies last.

As long as the UCI didn't ask Pirelli to make the deteriorate artificially quickly :)

They seem to be a lil pricey given that they don't list a breaker belt (at least on the one I'd want) and they didn't list any weights (on the Planet Cyclery site) which is the email ad I got.

So I'll pass for now.
