I need new tyres for my 599 and I don't particularly like the Pirelli's on it, they are not very progressive - they tend to snap a little too much. Has anyone tried different tyres on their 599?

Also, I was thinking of getting GTO wheels, the fronts are wider - has anyone tried this on a standard 599? Do they even fit?

I'll try Scuderia Systems for a chat.

I know it is cold right now and so the tyres don't really work well in the cold but I found when I changed the tyres on my little boxster spyder (I know it is not necessarily a good comparitor) to Michelin rubber even in the cold I got a more progressive slide.
I have only had the 599 for a few months and I am still settlign into driving it well.
I like to turn off the traction control so I can understand what is really under me.........

Seems like the more people I talk to the more excellennt feedback I get on the Michelin Super Sports - seems like the cheapest upgrade of all.
I think a remap is also on the cards.
