    Ferrari themselves propose the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4, 235/35 R20 92W front, 285/35 R20 104W rear - of course they'll be cheaper when sourced on the "open market".

    Are you actually going to drive a Pista in winter conditions?! Much respect (and a little concern )

    An alternative is if you are only driving in the cold and not snow, you can buy all seasons. More choices and a lot cheaper than winters. That’s what I did on f12 and where rating for continental DWS is very good and wet etc by not deep snow.

    Drive it hard and often!

    I believe Pirelli Sottozeros have a tire that will fit and the Pirellis have been amazing for me in the past (NSX and 911). I plan to purchase a set for my F8 when it comes in and I can confirm the correct size.

    Pirelli Sottozeros were proposed for the 488 GTB, and the sizes are exactly the same between the GTB and the Pista - so the Sottozeros advised by Ferrari for the GTB should fit the Pista without any issue.
    In the end the choice will be between the Pirelli Sorrozero and the Michelin Alpin, unlike the summer tyres they are not specific to Ferrari - so my guess is that for the ones interested, looking on the web for comparison between both is the way to go.
    Ferrari apparently moving from Pirelli to Michelin could be more for marketing reasons than technical ones, so like in everything one needs to do his homework to decide....

    Do you get much snow? Or are you only going to drive it when the roads are clear?

    I may be the only person in the World that drives a 800hp Dodge Challenger Demon in the snow. And I mean snow on the roads, it’s my daily driver.
