    Hi guys,
    My 07 F430 needs new tires.... I would like recommendations please. I had Pirelli's with challenge wheels on my 2005 F430 and the 07 has Bridgestone.... I don't drive the car super hard so I can't recall noticing any difference in drivability ... I drive mainly in race mode although I don't 'race' the car... My car has tire pressure indicators and standard factory wheels. Which tires are the best in your opinions? Thanks a ton for the help dudes and dudettes.

    Todd

    Guess this was a dumb question? No real differences? Just get either bridgestone, pirelli or michelin, whichever is cheaper? Anyone?

    I never buy tires based upon price.

    I had less than a good experience with Bridgestone on my BMW, and I'll,therefore, stay away from those thank you very much.

    Never had Pirelli. They are a good tire but I understand that they are soft and wear pretty fast.

    The PS2's wear forever and handle great. So I am very pleased with them.

    You can't go wrong with PS2's. Corsa system if you want it more sparky.

    Corsa System tires are track tires from Pirelli that come standard on the Scuderia, the Michelin PS2 is a good choice if you are willing to spend a little more on max performance tires as they are the most expensive but well worth the price.
