    Hi, My 456 is fitted with Pirelli P zero tyres, front and rear. The front tyres will need replacing soon and I have a good source for Bridgestone Expedia S-01. I would welcome some views on mixing Pirelli rears with Bridgestone fronts. Thanks

    Agree do NOT recommend. You can induce paradoxical oversteer/understeer and instability.

    I have the P-Zero's on my 550, their grip varies greatly with tire temp, more so than any other tire I have ever driven. Mixing P-Zero's with anything else is a recipe for finding yourself in a ditch or wrapped around a tree. As others have said... Please do NOT do it. I can't wait to get the P-Zero's off my car.

    Agreed. Those Conti’s are what I ran when I was on 17s. Good tire. It does like to be inflated a touch more than my Bridgestone or Michelins.

    I have those continentals on my 456M and even after 5years, they still run great and consistent at different circumstances incl track. I do not do crazy stuff but do push them sometimes and would never do different ages let alone brands front and back.
    I can recommend them and will take them again.

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the Nitto NT555 G2? They are a relatively new option on Tirerack in 456 sizes.
