Tyres Yet Again!

So like most tyre threads, I need new tyres for the GT.

Like most other tyre threads I'm looking for as cheap as possible for Michelin PS4's all round.

As they seem to cost a fortune I saw that one of my old school mates now runs a tyre emporium back near where I lived in Essex and have asked him.

Now, standard Maserati fitment is P Zero's, and you can't get a fitment for Michelins.

What is the best fitment to go for? Porsche? Ferrari? Mercedes? or does it not really matter.

Just for clarification the sizes I'm after are:

245 35 R20
285 35 R20

Having Googled these as opposed to looking on my car I assume they are correct.

I would go Ferrari or Mercedes. I once made the mistake of fitting Porsche spec to the front of my Spyder - ruined the steering and the front end refinement (it's something to do with sidewall stiffness and compound I was told) . Personally I would go Ferrari spec.

I've just fitted Pilot Super sports all round.
K1 and K2 which are Ferrari fittment.
They are the dogs gonads compared to the Pirelli P Zero Corsa

same size tyres on QPV. Pzero up front and Pilot sport?? rear.

Increased rears to 295 last time to reduce kerning damage. Interestingly did same up front going to 245 and price dropped £20 per tyre for P-zero (mercedes fitment XO). So far so good, no loss of steering feel, but then I am driving the support car.

I would recommend Michelins, I currently have continentals fitted to my GT and find they lack grip! Previously had Michelins on my V8 vantage and found them great.
