    Need twin rear replacements for my PO Zeros for my F355 spider and am being offered a pair of Bridgestones at a better price than the Pirellis. Car already has Pirellis on the front. Any advice? Whats the compromise?

    Don't mix tires. I have read stories out here where the car would wander across lanes on the road when equipped with different tire makes.

    My personal strategy is to change all 4 tires as is recommended by a few people here.

    The 2 tires have vastly different handling and feel about them. Stay with the Pirellis unless you swap out to Michelin Pilot Sports (my preference). In my case, the Bridgestones felt heavier and sluggish compared to the lighter feeling Pirellis. Less rolling resistance, I figured.

    I just bought 4 new Michelin Sports- they run beautifully - I actually had trouble finding P Zeros.

    Lowest treadwear number you can find that still has enough tread on it for your use.
