456 Tyres

MPSSs / PS4s generally popular among 550 / 575 owners.

 

Sadly, I don't think the correct sizes are available for the 17" OEM wheels. I had to put 18" wheels on the car to get to PS4s. Other brands may have summer high performance tires in the right sizes for 17", Michelin only had all-season.

 

When I had my 456GT, I was pretty happy with Continental Extreme Contact Sport... available in stock sizes and were a great tire with good grip.

Affirmative, if the Michelin MPSS or PS4S is not available in 17" sizes, I would much prefer the Continentals to Pirellis. TireRack has the Contis in 456 GT/GTA sizes, no Pirellis or Michelins, and they are about $800 per set, a relative bargain for a Ferrari.

 

I had Contis on my 911. Very happy with them and at $800 for a set, what's not to like?

 

Trying the contis myself, although in 18”

I have Continentals on my 456GT... I want a wider rear tire, so thinking of 18" or 19" wheels, but I have lot's of life in these and plan to take my time to find the right wheels......the Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires are great so far....if you want to keep stock wheels I highly recommend them.

 

I will say they took quite a lot of weight to balance. I’m at around 2.5oz in a few of them
