F430 tyres

[SlartiF430]

Need a new set.
Looking for longevity more than performance as I don't ever drive her hard.
Any recommendations?

I've found Michelin Pilot Supersports to provide an excellent balance between performance in both dry and wet along with longevity.

Just fit a pair of Supersports on the rear ........that's what it had on before and that's the recommendation on the label inside the passenger door.

Pretty sure mine recommends Pirellis...must have got that wrong.

No, you haven't. There are Pirelli, Bridgestone, or Michelin, depending on the year of manufacture.

I'd always go with the tyre giving the best grip, you never know when you might need it!

If I remember rightly mine came with P-Zeros and had that on the sticker, I changed them for Pilot Sport 2's and felt it improved the handling considerably. Although they have a deeper profile which is noticeable.

The Supersports are a step above the sport2's, can't recommend them highly enough.
