    Well, I went ahead and did it. Just purchased a 2014 FF from a fellow Fchatter. This will be my daily driver in the Midwest weather. It is joining my 2013 458 Spider. Over the years, all the research on this site has helped me a lot in selecting what year, options, to get, etc. I look forward to using this resource down the road. Well hopefully it will be delivered the first week in April.

    First question out of the gate, has anybody use the Michelin sport all season tires on this car? I know all seasons mean no seasons, but this car is not gonna be run on the track or anything crazy.

    here are some more pictures:

    dealer swaps my winter tires (Michelin Pilot Alpin) twice a year, $300 a pop. Well worth it to run appropriate tires year round

    Welcome to FF ownership! As for the tyres, you said it yourself! :p

    I couldn't agree more.

    Congrats and I wish you good luck with it!

    I have a 2015 with the same exterior and interior colors.

    I was able to pick up a mint condition set of OEM wheels on ebay for $2800. So I have Michelin Artic Alpin mounted on those wheels. It's an easy swap I do myself. I'm waiting a few more weeks before I do it. Even though it's spring, winter ain't over yet. :D

    I do the same...run W speed rated (270 km.hr) Pilot Alpin PA4 on my 612 Nov-March here in France. They even handle to ski season snow with aplomb. With a good jack and torque wrench its a 30 minute job to change the set.

    You like the interior? I struggled with the color, but thought it was so different than typical colors, I would give it a shot.

    I love the interior, and I get a lot of compliments on it. I have a 612 Scaglietti that's Blu Scotia outside and tan interior, so I wanted something different in colors.

    Love the interior. Understated and classy. It makes such a refreshing and stylish change from the ‘default’ Nero or Cuoio.

    Blue Ferrari leather has colour to it and really comes to life with the contrast stitch. Is yours semi-aniline? I think it might be. Porsche blue leather, on the other hand is grey, flat and lifeless and I wouldn’t thank you for it.

    This!
    My dealer is also polite enough to store the other set of wheels/tires for me too

    I just ordered a set. So, I will report back in a few months. Winters here in Kansas City just aren’t what they were decades ago. I bet 60-70% of winter days are above freezing, and it just doesn’t snow much anymore. If I lived up north, or the northeast, or in a mountain state, I would probably get dedicated winter ties. This FF Is my daily GT. If I want to run like hell, I drive the 458 (with the great Michelin Pilot Sports).
