Does anyone know what the best tyres are for a 550M? I currently have Bridgestone S02's and the car feels a bit nervous on them.

I am told S03's are worse, so can anyone give me an authoritive answer on another?

Hughjayteens I had S02's on a Tuscan which I used to own and the front-wheel nervousness under breaking (any braking) was one of several reasons why I got rid of it. Maybe Bridgestones are just not for me.

Thanks guys for your comments though. I will give one of the suggestions a try.

Manu, you seem to know loads about Ferraris mate. I have have just gone from a Tuscan to a 550. Am I wrong in saying that the 550 M (without handling pack) is not sharp enough on the turn in and the back end suspension needs lowering a few inches to eliminate twitchiness? Could this be the real issue and not the tyres (although my front ones definately need replacing)? Or am I making an unfair comparison
