F430 Scuderia and 16M Tyres

Any feedback on non Pirelli options please?

MPSS seem popular but are people using the same sizes and same or higher load ratings?

Thanks for the comments and particular the Cup 2 feedback.

Although not K1 rated but with the same ratings I can get Michelin P4s from Costco at a reasonable cost so that is what will get fitted. Michelin states the tyre is 80% road and 20% track so thats perfect for the cars usage. MPSS and Corsas are not available in K1 or sizes or both.

Anything is better than the worn wooden Corsas that are there at the moment.

Have to say I'm amazed by that. Iirc your car is a scuderia and the OEM pirelli is a Corsa? Ime, cup2s are considerably better than the corsas with no downsides as for me anyway as they wore far better, had more grip and were much more stable on track. Personally on any sports car my default choice pretty much is a cup2 now as I think they are actually fine even in reasonably heavy rain as long as one is sensible.

Cup2's lasted pretty well on all my GT3 cars but Supersports only did 2500 miles on my Gallardo. The Pirellis on my Strad dont do well at all as although they take ages to get to the wear indicators the grip levels reduce way before that.

Full set of PS4 fitted at Costco for £728 which is less than half the price Ferrari Edinburgh quoted for Pirelli.

Will report back!
