    Today was a big day! I got my first CEL!

    I was on my way home from getting the 360's windows tinted when it came on. Luckily the local place that works on Ferraris was on my way, so I stopped by to get the codes read. Misfire for cylinders 1 and 8. The car drives fine and nothing seems out of sorts. The CEL is solid, and not flashing, so that's good. The shop says to just monitor it. Then I spoke with my Ferrari mechanic and he said the same thing. So we shall see what happens.

    My thought is that in the 2 weeks I have had the car I have driven it nearly 700 miles, whereas the prior 3 years saw the car driven only 500 miles. The 3 years before that it was only driven 800 miles. So maybe it's just not used to being driven!

    I actually was just going thru the service records, and in April 2019 the car had these exact same error codes. The report says they suspected sticky injectors from the car not being driven - apparently they added a fuel additive to the fuel and that solved the problem. Very interesting.

    Great tires, but all season tires, with quite good grip when very cold, and can take you out of a ditch in snow... If you don't need all seasons (dont' drive Ferrari in winter) just get summer tires like Ps4s or extreme contact like @ADA///M mentioned.

    Well shoot - I just assumed that any normal person would only have summer tires on their Ferrari. Looks like I need to call the tire place and cancel my order for Michelon all-seasons! Then I can order summer tires so I have them on-hand once Spring hits.

    It looks like I can get Michelin PS5s in 215/45 R18 front, 275/40 R18 rear. An excellent choice?

    I just want something as close to Cup2's as I can get.
