Now Pirelli wants a look back in: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83101

How big is their ability to produce tyres? I know they do/did WRC but obviously F1 is a different kettle of fish!

I think they had a brief spell in F1 in the 1980s.

From another site -

Goodyear is the most successful F1 tyre company ever, with 368 wins; with Bridgestone on 125; Michelin, 102; Dunlop, 83; Firestone, 49; Pirelli, 42; Continental & Englebert 10.

They are the sole tyre supplier for WSBK which was the first of the big world championships to go to a single tyre manufacturer that I am aware of.

It took them a little while to get up to speed, but they are now there. They also provide all the tyres for BSB. From a bike racing perspective they are making a HUGE number of tyres for racing and seem to have their processes down pretty well. I would imagine that from a 'can they make enough' perspective they would be able to do it.
