$80 each for the rears Hankook*Ventus R-S3 (Version 2) Also the continental extreme contact DW are on closeout as well http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DW&frontTire=24YR8ECDWXL&rearTire=64YR8ECDWXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ferrari&autoYear=1999&autoModel=F355&autoModClar=
Just had my set delivered two days ago. Dropped them off today with an independent wheel repair guy who's straightening a couple of the 18" used aftermarket wheels I recently bought. All I can say so far is that they are a screaming deal, and they smelled good inside my truck on the way to the shop. Excited to be going from the stock 17" 348 throwing stars to BBS-style 18s. When everything is mounted and wheels installed, I'll report back.
Nader, what size tires are you fitting on your 18 inch BBS wheels? I have a 1995 348 Spider with 360 Starfish wheels and old tires. After reviewing posts on FerrariChat about tire sizes for the 360 Starfish on a 348 I'm thinking about 235/40-18 fronts and 295/35-18 rears. There are differences between your situation and mine, BBS wheels v 360 Starfish and 1991 TS v 1995 Spider rear suspensions, but I'm still curious about the size you chose. Thanks for your input.

I've gone through a number of sets of those on other cars, divided between street and track use. They're very good tires. I like them better than the much more expensive tires that are so popular in this section.
Closeout sale done. It was $80 a tire gentlemen. I have them on my 355, but I don't like how they look. Once heat cycled, they should grip like crazy. I think MPSS should provide a better ride quality and longevity. Track guys love the Rs3 ver 2s as it considered one of the fastest if not the fastest street tire. But they don't last....
I would stay away from the continentals. had them on my bmw. I personally think they suck went with Michelin. My 355 has Hankooks nice tire
FYI the MPSS is being updated with a new MPS4S designation. Same tread pattern but numerous improvements. First sizes (20") will be out next month.
