    Which would you choose for your Pista? No track use. No rain.
    Do Cup 2’s take longer to come up to temperature?
    Do you sacrifice any real world street performance choosing a Pilot super sport or 4S?
    From what I can tell OEM tire on F8 is usually Pirelli P Zero
    Pista Cup2
    SF90 I’ve seen P zero, Cup2, Pilot super sports

    No track? I'd take whatever was easier to get / less expensive.

    I have the pilot sport 4S on my F8- no track, no rain and they’re great. Also have them on my AMG GTc- I swear by them.

    I too swear by PS4S. You can go with the 296GTB PS4S, it is avilable in Ferrari spec front and back. I tossed 4 OEM PZ4 with just 1500 miles and went with PS4S. Made the car 100% better in warm or cold weather, rain or shine. I don't feel scared of using all of the power anytime vs always felt nervous with PZ4.

    If you like wider stance, the N0 Porsche PS4 are wider than K1 of same size. I run 15mm spacers on my F8, after putting on the PS4S N0 tires, the rear looks really wide and square, I am removing spacers this weekend. Big plus IMO, perfect stance without having to run spacers.

    The new Pilot Sport S 5 tires are not yet available in correct sizes unfortunatley, hopefully once I wear out the PS4S. I will totally go with those.

    Stay away from cup2s if no track use. Not appropriate for street use if wet

    Thanks for this post! I looked and 296 rear tires are 35 series. I just ordered PS4S in N0 Porsche spec. I have new wheels coming tomorrow so can’t wait for PS5 release.
