360 tyre recommendations?
Discussion
I've got to replace the two rear tyres on my 360 as I'm now down to the wear bands I was simply going to order another set of Pirelli p-zero's as that's what currently on the car but just wondered if there were any recommendations for alternatives?
The current tire sizes are 275/40/ZR18 which I believe are the right size for the factory fitted 18 inch wheels.
I hate to admit this on here, I don't the car the 9 years, does very little mileage so these are the tyres I had fitted to it in the year I bought it, so even if they weren't down to the wear and is, they would be due for a changed based on age alone.
The car doesn't get used for track days, it's mainly used in the dry although occasionally I guess I could get caught out in the rain somewhere. I do however drive fairly hard at least 50% of the time I minute as that's what it was made for.
Having just had a brief look at a couple of tyre companies, the following look like they are available:
99Y PIRELLI PZERO ASIMMETRICO F £255
CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACT 2 JAGUAR £205
PIRELLI - P7 CINTURATO - £240
BRIDGESTONE Potenza S02A £195
The above prices are per tyre and include fitting - 'm not so worried about the price range, I just included these as a general indication. Happy to order the Pirelli tyres again, although they've lasted 9 years I've actually not done that many miles.
Any advice and comments would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

If you've been happy with the Pirelli's then stick with them.
I know some owners swear by Michelin PS's. I have a set on my Monaro and have no complaints from the limited mileage I've done.
I've just ordered a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's for my 360, albeit in a slightly different size as I have Challenge wheels. I'll try to update once I've done some mileage on them.

I had PS2s on my 996 turbo and they were excellent. I wanted them on the 360 but couldn't get them in that size. I'm not a big fan of P-Zero but they seem OK as long as they're warm.I know some owners swear by Michelin PS's. I have a set on my Monaro and have no complaints from the limited mileage I've done.
