I bought Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's (my favorite perfromance tire) from Tire Rack. (The recommended Pirelli is the Nero, as it comes in the stock size, but I have owned both and the Rosso is superior on a ligher car especially.)

The initial response from Tire Rack was that these did not come in stock size. But they came in one size larger at 225, yet had the same profile available at 45. I bought them and the fit was just fine and these tires give a lot more grip when you turn off all the traction controls, especially in winter weather with cold pavement and even when the Pirellis are warmed up they give more grip but still allow for rear sliding in the right situation. In the end my gut feeling was correct from my experience in sports cars over the years, and Tire Rack did not try to fight me on the choice once I made it.
