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.

The conclusion I'm coming to is to stick with the Pirelli, to be honest is not really that much choice and in my mind Pirelli have always been the choice of tyre associated with Ferrari ( rightly or wrongly)
