812 Driving Characteristics Different Drive Modes

I live in a very similar climate to Seattle so interested to hear more on how much better the MP4Ss are compared to the Pirellis. My 812SF is on Pirellis and entering winter debating on whether to switch tires.

 

I switch to Continental DWS06 Extreme Contact tires for the winter. I run the Michelins from about March to October usually. The Conti's work great in the wet cold weather here. The soft compound also rides really nice through the winter.

I believe there are a couple guys running the Michelin's year round here, but I like to swap to a dedicated all season. Also, I have 2 sets of wheels. So swapping is really easy for me.

 

I run the michelin's all year but I'm just running super sports. These are almost done though and I will switch to the MP4S at the next change and use them all year.

 

Thank you Gentlemen

Love it! Grigio Silverstone?

 

I love my Speciale, just about the finest V8 production Ferrari ever...but...the V12s are a whole new level for me. I adore my 812 and will keep it when my GTS arrives. The 458 spider will get traded.

 

Seattle Stew -- Yes Silverstone, same as my Lusso...by happenstance, but I promise my GTS will not be Silverstone...at least I promise before we build

My favourite quote here from NewJoint: "Happy motoring to all the 812 owners out there as we burn fossil fuels!
Automotive Dinosaurs running on super unleaded dinosaurs…"

The only way to live.

 

Most of you think the P0's should go, these have 1100, thinking of warming well and burning them up instead of tossing - then switching to Pilots .....bad idea?

Burning off the P0s would be fun, just install some painters tape on the panels behind the wheels to reduce rubber cleanup!

love the color, but I’m biased.

I only drive in Race mode. Kicks a little when I push hard on the turns but it's glorious.
