I'm about 4K into my set of F1's and they appear to be wearing better than the Pirelli's. Dealer told me at Service A (a week ago) my rears were 2/32nd. They look a little better off than 2/32 when I inspected, figured they thought they would "scare" me into getting ripped off from them.
My guess is I've got another 3-4K before I need to replace them. For reference my rear Pirelli's were shot by 5,700 miles.

I think they grip better. Slightly more tire noise during the first 2K miles, after that no noticeable difference. The Pirelli is a little softer, not much. The F1's don't feel like an A/S tire. I've had Continental ContiSport (I think that's the name) on an M3 and they rode like an A/S tire- harsher ride, noisier and not as grippy as a summer tire.
I hope they don't start to grain all a sudden. I walked up on the car from the rear yesterday and the degree of camber on the rear tires is awesome...GOOD THING. Which normally means inside wear....BAD THING. I haven't noticed any uneven wear yet, keeping my fingers crossed.

C63
LOL on the garage. Trying to move the F430 and pretty sure the Vette is gone too. The wife wants a ML or GL and I don't get to drive them much AND the C63 is almost as fun to drive as the F430 believe it or not. Kinda a pain to have in the back of my head "What if.." everytime I take it out. My wife went to a drive through yesterday AM in the Vette and a guy backed into it while she was in the drive-thru (minor scratch) but if it was the F430 I would be crying bloody murder.
