    I'd have to say NOT the P Zero's. I put them on mine 2 yard ago and they are terrible in the wet. Aquaplaning everywhere. Very scary to drive on.

    Just got new PS4's and couldn't be happier with ride and grip. Definitely made a difference on the inherent understeer problem with the 430's.

    The Michelin's are the best! Plenty of threads on this. You will need to go up a size for them to fit but will be glad you did as they are far superior than any other tire.

    Pirelli drive like garbage. I'd rather get Indy500!! But yeah, P4S are the best.

    I love the PS4S on my 911 but unless you roll the fenders on the 360 I'd be wary about going off-size. Don't want cracked paint if you hit a bump.

    I changed P Zeros to PS4Ss on my 430 - a total transformation. Did the same for my C63 AMG 6.3 - the same. Better feel, ride, wet weather, dry weather, everything. Pirellis feel like driving on varnished wood by comparison.

    i just tested a 992 C4S on Eagle F1s and even they are far superior to the Pirellis.

    P Zeros seem to do well in some tests though I can’t figure out why. And I can’t figure out why they are served up as OEM on so many brand new Ferraris. They aren’t even Italian. Also on Bentleys, Astons, Lambos, 911s. I guess ultimate dry grip must be good. But they feel so much worse than the PS4Ss.
