Which tyres for ferrari 360?

[Naz 111]

Hi, i have got michelin pilot sports on the front and rear at the moment and the rears need replacing but michelin have stoped making the pilot sport tyre, i will be driving it through the winter so need a good all round tyre, also is it ok to have different tyres on the front and rear axles as the fronts have plenty of tread left, thanks

Most of the time it's fine but the 360 is sensitive to fyres and pressures.

Quite right, I always choose P zero's for a 360, So personally I would swap brand to improve as long as you do both fronts then both rears or visa versa you should be ok, but she will handle differently so be carefull until you have the full set.

Worth searching (on the forum) this subject as tyre selection often appears, the Bridgestone is a close second in my view.

If you do go for the Pirelli's then let us know how you get on finding the rears. I've just had all four changed and my tyre bloke reckoned he had a lot of trouble sourcing them.

I just changed from P Zeros to Bridgestones. Have had Pirellis for 8 years and thought I'd try the Bs.
Think I prefer them now to the Pirellis.

I've had Bridgestones on for the last two changes, far superior in terms of feel, grip and wear than the Pirellis.

wouldn't go back to them now.
I think i had Pilots on when i bought it but that was a while ago, either way the Bridgestones are by far the best tyre i've had on my 360.

Good to know, I need to replace 4 on mine in the next couple of weeks and was wondering if Pirellis were the way forward. I think I'll just replace like for like then.

If you fancy a cheap alternative try Falkens, they're a nice soft grippy trye that works really well in the wet.

Try camskills or falkens direct.

I did hear they cater well for the slower driver. Glad to see it confirmed

They might have stopped the PS2 but the PS3 is now available. Just put a pair of 285s on the Lotus.

They don't make them for the replica 18 inch Challenge rims though sadly Nish

Random question, but what sort of mileage would you expect to get on a set of tyres on a 360?

+1 for the Bridgestones. I've never had any other tyre on it but I'm very happy with them.

I remember hearing that you really shouldn't mis-match the front and rears so you'll probably have to go for 4 tyres.
