430 Tyres for daily use in 2020

Hi guys. Recently bought my first Ferrari F430. Its with some old DOT 2013 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on the back and i really have issues with the traction. Im looking after a set of tires. Read some topics mostly its recommended Pirelli Corsa Direzionale (Front 225/35/19) and Pirelli Corsa Assymetrico (Rear 285/35/19).

The issue is that they're no longer produced and all DOTs are OLD. What is the best replacement for them in 2020? Im not using this in a track or for very aggressive driving. I just sometimes go "crazy" in the road and want to have the grip that it takes to punish BMW kiddies So far im "scared" to do so with the current tires. Even at 160km/h the kick-down makes the car's ass to go aside, although i'm used to drifting i dont feel comfortable and safe and it must be the tire issue.

So what is your suggestion? Semi-slick type or regular sporty ones.

 

Nothing wrong with the tyres listed on page 12 of the handbook.

 

Michelin PS 4 S

 

Is this your first mid engine car? They require a certain approach. Don't drive it like a"drift" car. If your tyres are 7yrs old get new ones. Good option above ^^^

I have nitto invos on my 360. I haven't had a single issue or scary moment between spirited backroads drives, rain, and sub-freezing weather. They work well on the 360. Much better than when I had them on my viper. That was a different story.

 

This is making me think. My front tires are from 2016 and rears from 2014. I guess within the next year I should replace all 4. My rears do break free pretty easily.

What are the biggest size that can fit on the stock wheels? I think I'd like to +1 on the size and if anyone has done this does it improve or make the handling worse?
