What tyres F430
Discussion
Mine is on P-zero rosso. They are specially made for the F430, and yet are only £145 + fitting from mytires.co.uk for the fronts. I can't get too uptight about the make etc because at road speeds I find it hard to believe you can really tell the difference between different tyres. I would not mix though, so unless you are replacing all 4, I would stick with whatever you have on the other axle.

Currently bought with Bridgestone and replacing with Bridgestone. Been recommended to have the car set up as per factory settings. I have the benefit of being able to take the car out like this and push it in a controlled environment. It is my first time with the car and I feel this is good advice. From this I can get a feel of how the car moves and make adjustments accordingly.
Car might be a bit slower with Bridgestone but that always means an easy modification if needed!!

I don't know, maybe it was down to geometry or something but I felt a big difference after changing from P-Zeros to Pilot Sport 2's when I had a 430. The P-zero's didn't inspire me with confidence at all, I could feel the car wandering in hard cornering, the Pilots felt very solid in comparison. The P-zero was the recommended tyre though. 
I had 235+295 p-zero Corsa's previously, they were very good but as a track type tyre really only did work properly around the 'ring! (Was the only track I drove on with them,They really came too and were amazing there!)
Now running Michelin pilot Supersport and can't rec them enough! Perfect for fast road, they really do hook up great.
