    One of the issues with 360s is they are CRITICAL to rake. Playing around with the tyre aspect ratio is a really dumb thing to do unless you re-set the ride height to compensate. Plenty of written off cars and the odd dead person to confirm the unbody aero is quite sensitive on 360s to this adjustment.

    Try a tyre calculator on-line to assist you in preserving the stock rolling radius if you are compelled to stray away from the factory sizes.

    There you go, took 2 mins to find, third one down:

    Using Cookies

    P-Zero Rosso is NOT the correct tyre.

    Of course, when you call Pirelli on Monday, they may claim that P-Zero is not imported, just report them to the ACCC or buy on line.

    BTW, the S-02A is also a Ferrari approved tyre. Notice how this tyre and the P-Zero have a TWI of 140? All the other rubbish is much harder.

    Just ask Serge how well his 360 drives on tyres with a high TWI.....

    I'm more than happy to keep the sizes as they are, maybe the original info i have been given is not as accurate as it could be, but I'll check it all out next week.
    It sounds like they have made the 215 front for the car if they are different to the standard one.
    The car behaves great on the road and I don't want to start changing everything.

    Gosh, I hope your Cayenne has the correct tyres on it!! All approved Porsche tyres have a "N" on the sidewall followed by a number, usually a single digit, do yours??!!

    It was only for two puncture repairs that happened at the same time 100m from their shop, but their service was great

    Excellent, it's very hard to find a good tyre place. Hopefully they didn't do the bolts up to 400Nm with an air gun :)

    That write up is great, the guy from Jax said that with the 215 and 275 that they were not right as they had different tread patterns, but that article explain why they don't.

    I have Pirelli on my road car 19" CS wheels. If I could use any tyre it would be Yokohama ADVAN A050 R, I use them on my 360 Challenge 18" rim for road use and they are brilliant, cold start grip for hillclimbs with long life. You can push them very hard and give great feedback.

    I have run Pirelli SC1 & SC2 rear on my bikes for a long time on both track and road I love the grip.

    Has anyone ran the Michelin super sports on the 360? If so, any feedback?

    Thanks
