    Reluctantly I am planning to replace the original 6000 mile Bridgestones on my ‘02 Modena. I have discovered that the choices are actually limited. Pirelli P-Zero’s are available from Tirerack. In fact they are the only high performance tire they can offer. I did find a seller who can supply Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires in the correct sizes but I know little about these. Many all season options are available but I can’t imagine putting these on my 360.
    Any recommendations...
    Thanks

    The Michelin PS4's are excellent, you can't go wrong with those. I've never been impressed by Pirelli's and especially not Bridgestone.

    I’m just curious… Why are you at all reluctant to replace tires that are 18 years old? Not much seems that much more dangerous than that! Anyway, I have the P zeros on my 07 430 and I like them. But I just put the PS4’s on my AMG 63sand I really love those. I say ps4

    IMHO, Michelin's are the way to go if you can find the correct size. Stay away from all-seasons. They'll last longer, but provide little grip.

    PS4S all the way. I have them on al of my fun cars and have never been more impressed with a tire. Not just good tires, great tires!

    As far as I know they do not make them in OM sizes, but by going slightly larger (285 35 18 & 225 40 18 I think) they will fit just fine.

    Yep....pilot sport 4s all day long.

    and why in gods name are you still using the original tires??????!!!????!!!???

    no one ever told you rubber compounds don’t last forever (or apparently 18years in this case)?

    Thanks for the responses
    I’ve only had the car for 3 weeks.
    Agree that the original tires need to go.
    The fact is that I can’t find the Michelin’s in the correct sizes.
    I could get the all seasons but there must be a down side to these
    P-Zero’s are available from Tirerack at $1350 including shipping and tax.
    Seems to be my only choice.

    You don't need them in the exact original sizes. And I think that you will be disappointed with the P-Zero's if you get a chance to drive someone's 360 with PS 4s'.

    I went back and confirmed that 285 35 18 & 225 40 18 are what I and others have bought for our 360's.

    Try it...You'll like it :)

    I had constant rubbing problem with my RE-11's. Not had an issue at all with the PS4S.

    Likewise. I had my front fender lips hot rolled when I put on RE-11's to keep them from rubbing. The PS 4s' in the sizes I mentioned above have a slightly smaller circumference than stock sizes so rubbing should not be a problem even without rolled fender lips.

    Although the Michelin’s have received all of the praises I will stay with the Pirelli’s in the factory sizes.

    Was wondering since my 360 came without a spare and a spare is almost impossible to find at a reasonable price, can a standard 18 inch front rim and tire be used as a spare if one gets a flat in front or back? This would just be used for a short drive home.

    Have you found Perilli in the factory size for the 360 other than the Centurato?

    Tire and wheel will not fit in trunk. Guess you could carry it in the Pass set.

    Just a thought:
    Will 19” F430 wheels/tires fit my 360 Modena without rubbing, etc.
    Thanks

    19" wheels will fit on the 360. I have 19" Scuderia style wheels and with Michelin tires there is no fender interference. My fenders are not rolled.

    Do the wheels extend beyond the fenders more than the std 18” wheels

    I do not know. You will have to judge for yourself. The wheels and tire combinations are 225/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear in this picture.
