    I currently have Michelin Polit Sport on my 360 and need to replace the rear tires. It seems that these tires have been discontinued, so it might not be possible to match with the front tires. Does anyone have a good suggestion as to what tires I should consider putting around the entire car? Looking for a good everyday tire at the best value. I appreciate any comments. Thanks

    Tires are a "sticky" subject but on my 2001 360 I have been very happy with Yokohama's Advan Sport tires.

    The front size is discontinued, so if you get new rears when the fronts go you'll have to get 4 new tires.

    No need to change rears simply because fronts need replacement.

    Alternative sizes are available for the front e.g. 225/45 225/40 and 235/40 any of which would work perfectly well.

    PS2 really is an excellent dry tyre with very good wet capability also.

    I don't doubt they are great tires, I just wouldn't want to put on a size that's different than what ferrari recommends...I'll probably go with a matched set of something else when the time comes for new tires rather than put 225's on front. Too bad, as I have the pilots on the car now and would keep the same tires on when replacing if 205s were available. Guess there aren't many cars that ar 18 inch and 205...360 may be the only car thus discontinued due to lack of sales volume?
