I run MPS4S abs would echo all the recommendations above. However, I note that you’re in Boca Raton and that the average temperatures you get will be much higher than for me in Northern Europe or Georgemaser in Michigan or Seattlestew in Seattle. So on that basis, I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that maybe tyre optimised for warmer weather like the Pirelli P Zero would be a better choice. Hopefully, our resident tyre expert IlCoPilota will be along to advise.
I went with the OEM Pirellis. Mostly for the fact my dealer had them in stock and the car was there for service. No complaints Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The MPS4S will be fine in those temps. It will only be an issue on track, and who tracks a Lusso? There's no reason to choose the Pirelli, unless tramlining is something you like. Personally I think the 255/35R20 and 295/35R20 is the way to go. The Lusso likes the bigger front and they offer better rim protection too Sent from my SM-G930F using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Hmm yes let me be clear here: Yes one do seem to need better protection... I had to avoid a cab the other day and well I did try to avoid the sidewalk, but touched it so light - and now I need to get the front right painted.... Damn cab driver...!
The first time I drove the 812 Superfast, it was on a cold February morning with the Pirellis. I almost s*** myself at how twitchy it was, I thought it was just so dangerous in anything more than Sport. I drove the 812 again on a cold morning (but in May, so not as cold) but with the Michelin. The car was totally different, much more progressive, and I thought it was very easy to judge when you are on the limit.
Hmm might need new front tires, just removed my wheels for the winter ones (yes a bit sad in a way, but hey it got 4wd - it can not be better than this during winter)... Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm researching Michelin pilot sport 4 all season instead of summer. They come standard on the C8 corvette. Lateral grip 1g whereas a summer tire would get 1.3g but only on a track setting. Usable performance under 50 degrees. Better wet handling which is where my F12 really struggles.
I don't think the oroblem you had was due to them being Michelins. What is working for now is the significantly taller sidewall in conjunction with more volume to absorb impacts. Sent from my SM-G930F using FerrariChat.com mobile app
My conti’s did fine in like 30° F weather. Don’t know what ground temp was, and they also were more than 60° when I pulled out of the garage.
