Try the Kumhos. I have had Michilin Pilot Sports, Bridgestone S03s and now Kumho ECSTA Supras on my 2000 M5 and like the Kumhos best so far. They handle well, are quite, are great in the rain and are inexpensive in comparison to the other brands. Well worth a look see ! |

Thank you all. I'm looking for progressive breakway as opposed to outright dry grip and they definitely need to work when it's wet & cold. Reading the posts says that's Bridgestone or Goodyear if I want to try something new. |

Bridgstone "Pole Position" is one hell of a tire. Give it a shot. Great low profile look and exceptional feel....
Good Luck,
AHO |

I'm getting close for tire replacement too (fronts are still original, second set on rears). The 360 came with the Michelin Pilot Sports and I'm satisfied with them. Basically, I drive my car in all weather conditions and all seasons (once in the snow). Need to decide on whether to stick with Michelin or try something new. |

We run the Pirellis on most our cars because they accomodate such a wide range of driving styles. We get good distance (mileage) out of them, they grip very well, have decent wet weather performance (important in Europe). We also find that our Ferrari mechanics seem happiest when we stick with Italian vendors. |

Had the goodyrs-changed to Michelin pilot sport at 10000 mi.The Mich'seem to give a smoother ride but really not much diff.If you go to M's remember they only take 28 lbs of pressure. |

I suggest you stick with the factory installed tires. The 360 comes with either one of the following:
- Goodyear F1 Fiorano (very sporty)
- Bridgestone S-02A (almost very sporty)
- Pirelli P-Zero (sporty)
- Michelin Pilot Sport (slightly more comfort oriented)
If you change brands, be sure to follow the factory specified tire pressures as they are different for each of the above.
I have the S-02A's and I am very pleased with them. Their dry grip is phenomenal and steering response is excellent. |

Try Bridgestone S-03's, IMO. |

The tires on my 360 Modena need replacing soon. Currently have Pirelli P zero's- are these the best choice or would you recommend alternatives?
Thanks
