Pirelli is ready to open talks with Formula 1 teams about a tyre supply deal, after company chiefs this week gave it the green light to evaluate a return to grand prix racing.
With teams currently weighing up offers from Michelin and Avon Cooper about supply deals for 2011, Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli has now also joined the race to compete in F1 from as early as next season.


Quote from the article:

Pirelli's director of motorsport, Paul Hembury, says the company's stance has been prompted by the fact that F1 could switch to 18-inch rims, and that teams are now ready to accept proper commercial terms for an F1 tyre supplier.
