Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Seeking Tire Recommendations - 512TR

[Clyde Romero (clyderomerof4]

I dare say that there is anyone on this list that has more Ferrari seat time than me 

Saying that there was a comprehensive tire test many years back in Car and Driver

They tested the all the high end and medium priced tires on a vette

The difference was tire wear and stopping distance which amounted to about 30 feet in the dry 

And much less in the wet

It's your money

I go with what's on sale since I bought my car to drive not wash and wax

Like I have always said 

Ferraris are like super model girl friend that have boy friends that will not sleep with them!

They find other owners!

It's your money

Spend it wisely

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun!

For performance and value, the Continentals are great.  I've used the summer extreme contacts on a 911 and the shop I use recommends them.

 

Hankook Ventus tires are a great value too, if you're looking to save some money.

Subject: [Ferrari] Seeking Tire Recommendations - 512TR

Time to replace set of old Yokohama AVS tires.  Tire Rack has the following in proper size (235/40/18 and 295/35/18), listed in order of decreasing price for all 4:

$1,398 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
$1,356 Yokohama ADVAN Sport
$1,150 Pirelli P Zero Rosso
$852    Toyo Proxes 1
$772    Continental Extreme Contact DW

Any comments/suggestions would be most appreciated; would like to order within next 24 hours.  This is certainly not my track car.  I try to "exercise" it once a week, for roughly 50 mile drives, almost entirely at somewhat high speeds on local highways.

Thanks,
Larry
