I am about to change all 4 tyres on my 488 Spider
Normally I would just replace with original factory choice ie Pirelli P Zero
I use the car generally for some sensible speed touring and for the occasional track day
Does the community have any views?
Much appreciated

based on my recent Gallardo tyre shopping, I'd be going Conti Sport Contact 7

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is generally regarded as the 'go for' tyre these days. Once the Pirelli's on my 488 are in need of replacing that is what I shall be going for.

I'd normally agree but in every quantifiable measure so far the Contis have been better

I know what you're saying. I fitted the Continentals to a Gr Yaris that came with mps4s originally and they were every bit as good plus they represented a good saving. In the case of a reasonably modern Ferrari though I do wonder how resale values could be affected by fitting tyres not offered as OE.
