    I had my 599 out the other day when it was only 45 degrees F. I checked the tire temps and they were only around 75-80 degrees, which was reasonable given the weather conditions. It got me wondering, though. Does anyone here know what Pirelli or Ferrari advises as optimal tire temperatures for P Zeros?

    Lots of factors, how hard you are driving, roads you are on, do you track the car? We run Pirelli's on the 430 challenge cars, optimal tire temp is around 200, but that is track only, no way you will get your tires that hot on the street. They are also slicks...

    PZeros are well known as critical in cold, wet or rain conditions - I live in Northern Germany and would Never use PZEros on any car.

    I think PA could have several weather conditions, so maybe it's just the point.
    Try Michelins, they are way better (under conditions stated above).

    Cheers
