Haha! Hi PhilB, I didn't know you were in here too

I will drive my F-Type very, very sedately, honest!

Fair enough until you get used to its feel - be sure to give it the odd ragging after though - it would be rude not to

..and the sooner you'll be able to swap the Pirellis from some Pilot Sport 4S

Definitely!!

Why not try to trade them in [new..] before taking delivery ? Asking doesn't cost you.. ... the Michelins SS4 will be a bit dearer,
but from all sides we've been told its another car with these tires... ... better take off on the 'right footing' from the start..

To be fair, even driving it "sedately" will see off most other cars!

I'll ask, though the car has already been built and the tyres have already been driven on, albeit only 6 miles so far.

I wouldn't mind keeping the P Zeros for now and swapping at a later date. It would be good to see the difference. I've got an XE-S at the moment and that's always had P Zeros.

Hi there, I did some tracksessions on the circuit of zolder(Belgium) last week and actually I am quit happy with the P-zero tires.
the brakes however were really underpowered.
So be glad the s-model has the 380mm discs.
the right tyrepressure is really important!


Wish you a lot of fun with your new f-type and safe driving.

Corne,

You did buy your car used, or am I mistaken ? With more then 30.000km on the clock, yours aren't OEM!

Probably the previous owner replaced them and the aftermarket are a different story all together it seems.

Hey Dan, 9000 km actually.
So I think they are the oem tyres.
By the way, I invited some other forummembers for a tour in Noord Brabant or Zeeland, and like to organize it, starting of in Breda.
Interested? see all so a new Belgium owner at the introduction.

greetings Corne

Hi Corne,

Just came back from two weeks holidays, forgot to take my passwords along !
Sure, if I don't have an other appointment, I'd love to come.

Dan

Dan, look at the f-type events

I just help out with any moderation, not that it's needed on here.
Most exciting thing I've had to do is help to turn a picture the right way up.

Oh, we can soon change that
