Was told at the annual service in April that by the time MOT is needed in late August likely to need full set of new rubber and she has started to slide somewhat going round corners/roundabouts; normally drive on UK roads with manateno setting on wet and the CST intervention is cutting in quite a bit more last few months, not sure whether its tyres or me just getting more comfortable with car and pushing it more.

Car has the ball polished challenge rims 305/35/20 rear and 245/35/20 front, currently with Pirelli P Zeros which I gather is all standard set up.

On some of the US forums seems to be some trend to fit Michelin pilot super sports rather than the P zeros, apparently cant get MPSS in same spec as above but a slightly different spec as found on 599 GTO wheels still fits by all accounts and seems to dramatically improve road noise and all round performance??

Anyone out there got any thoughts or experience of this in UK? I still have just over 12m of an approved used car power warranty and presumably if I take it to main dealer they will only fit recommended PZeros? Should I go with main dealer for MOT and new set of Pzeros or are there any other options?

Cheers

Guys having a look at camskills, seems I can get 4 tyres for less than a grand which seems good deal, do I go for the PZeros that have the OE code F. Does that mean they are ferrari specific?

Dont know if my local mobile tyre fitter who always sorted out my BMWs and wifes corsa has ever done a ferrari? Presume a wheel is a wheel but if I go down this route will I get loads of tyre pressure monitor errors afterwards that create havoc.

Just trying to gauge the pros and cons of going alone on this with a home delivery of the tyres and a mobile fitter or just falling on my sword at the main dealers.

Thanks for any advice.
