Default Tire Question

Hello Friends,
I'm waiting for my C4S to arrive next week. What are the brand of tires that usually come with this model - Michellin, Pirellis, ???
Also, without doing track time, how many miles before I have to visit "CASA DELLA TIRES for replacements?

The cars mainly come with Michelins with fewer cars receiving Pirellis. I think someone had done a poll on this and there was no clear reason as to which/why/when. I think it's whatever Zuffenhausen has lying around!
Without track time, people seem to report anywhere from 3000-10000 for the rears and higher numbers for the fronts.

2007 C4s comes with 305 rears in two current options. Michelins Pilot Sports or Bridgestones. Mine came with Bridgestones and I made the dealer switch to the Michelins. Michelins are a better all around tire and costs significantly more than Bridgestones. I'm not certain that Pirelli make a 305 sizes tire.

Skate, I will do the same if it comes with Bridgestones. I will have the dealer change them to Michelins Pilot Sports.
