Some interesting thoughts here.

Personally I use my car in the rain so wet weather grip is important. In fact the Granturismo has far superior traction than the 4200/3200 so I would encourage people to try it.

I accept the point on snow. My car has Sotto Zeros on it December through March. That explains how I manage 10-12k pa in mine.

I don't take ours out in the snow now, we use the 4x4 in winter. I remember the trip to Monaco and the drive back, snowing and the 3200 was not happy, my bum cheeks puckered a bit too, so it and the XJR if I keep it, will stay in the garage.

I have them on the back only at this point as the front size isn't available for another two weeks. I'm still exploring the limits of grip but so far they are very impressive and the previous wheelspin from a standing start is greatly reduced particularly in the wet. I'm looking at replacing the PZeros on the 911 with these as well.

If you go onto Ferrarichat, a lot of the 550/575/599 guys are using them as well.

Neil,
Thanks for that, if you find them OK on the rears, then I might just try some. If they are good enough for the Ferrari and not to be found stooping too low, they must be OK.
Cheers

I needed some rears to get it through the cars recent MOT, ended up paying £378 a corner for rears, which at the time was the cheapest I could get, Colchester wanted £500 a corner....

By Colchester do you mean Lancaster? I've had cheap tyres off MDs before, perhaps not this time!

Frank, you might be right mate, nearly £400 per corner is getting a bit steep!!!
