I like the Pirellis. I put 4Ss on the rear and they are definitely a good amount stickier, but I find that's actually taken some of the character away from the car honestly.

I might put Michelin's on the front and P Zeros on the rear when the time comes.

That move would be against all good judgement for tyres. Whilst it may make the backend have more drift characteristics, in a heavy braking situation you’ll more likely end up facing the opposite way and/or in a ditch.
Did a few sessions on a skid pan where rwd instruction cars had slick rears and good fronts and was near impossible to balance until lessons and control techniques were learnt

They are truly crap. The AWD of the F-Type helps a little but I still managed sideways on the first roundabout out the dealer in the dry with no throttle.

I also had them on my last car - XFR-S. the car was virtually undrivable in the wet with them. Plus they last no time at all. 8K on the back of the XFR-S Vs 22K for Michelin PS4S. No brainier for me.

Pirelli's will wear rather quickly as they are softer tyres than Michellins , so be prepared to change them .
