Ferrari Dealer: To Cornes Shiba
This Christmas is over ... I have kids in my house, so I've managed to do Santa Clause and eat cakes for the past few days, but why am I not so interested in event-like things? I like events (laughs).
However, I like to see the beautiful illuminations and decorations in the city ^^. This is the Christmas tree that Cornes Shiba-san had. As it is Ferrari, it is wonderful with the decoration unified in "red" as expected.
By the way, this day was also necessary, and I was in the way of Mr. CORNES Shiba, a Ferrari dealer. It was California T who welcomed me.
The image of the car changes at all just by adding stripes.
The foil was also gold, and even though my house was also a red California T, I didn't think it was the same car.
The impression of the whole car changes greatly with a little bit, so I thought it would be fun to choose a design again.
I had a lot of fun talking with the advisors on this day!
From the small talk that is related to Ferrari but not so much related to cars, to various technical stories that Ferrari is "amazing".
Tire description at Michelin Pilot Sport Fores
At the time of such a technical talk, we talked about tires. When the adviser stood up saying "Please wait a moment!" And went somewhere and came back ... I brought something like this and showed it to me ↓.
Yes, here. I beforeI was worried about replacing the Porsche 911 GT3 tires hereA sample of "Michelin Pilot Sports Fores" with cut tires.
I felt fate again when I met Pilot Sport 4S in an unexpected place. The other day, even at A PIT ShinonomeI was just happy to meet this tireSo ^^
By the way, as a result of various studies, the GT3 tires were originally replaced with Pilot Sport 4S.Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2 LeaveI have decided.
Ferrari approved tires F and K
Yes, so please tell me about the structure of the tire, the flat part (the part that hits the ground) of this tire is made hard, but the part that is R (bent) is made of soft rubber So, if you step on the cat's eye on the road surface in this soft part in the wrong direction, the tires will break easily.
Also, firmly teach that tires approved by each manufacturer, such as "Ferrari approved tires" and "Porsche approved tires", exist as completely different tires even with the same Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2 tires. I had it.
Regarding "approved / certified tires", I just thought that it was just "certified by the car manufacturer", but I didn't really understand it very much.
After conducting various tests and verifications on Ferrari approved tires, Ferrari made various requests for more than 100 items to the tire manufacturer, and Ferrari made the best tires as "Ferrari approved tires". Was it so great when I heard that it was there! I was impressed again.
And Porsche also has "Porsche certified tires" that Porsche made exclusively for Porsche after conducting various experiments and tests with Porsche.
For me, who doesn't know anything, when I say "Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2", I thought that there was only one product ... (I just wonder if that one type is certified by each manufacturer. I was simply thinking that it was a story, and I misunderstood it completely ignorantly ...), but in fact it was not so, and each manufacturer said, "Although the tire names (product names) are the same, there are actually completely different products.I learned for the first time.
I'm scared to know ... I didn't know anything about the efforts of tire and car manufacturers. I'm sorry. But now I understand it so much that I'm convinced. I learned a lot.
For men who like cars (and of course, women), even if they think "that's the obvious knowledge?", For me, who has almost no technical knowledge, one by one. I'm really grateful that you can teach me various things carefully, and it's really fun to listen to. I am really grateful to you for telling me various things on this day as well.
Porsche certified tires are N mark
by the way,Porsche certified tires have the letter "N" and a numberHowever, it seems that this N mark Porsche certified tire meets 33 important standards.
→ "12 objective outdoor standards such as braking performance and service life in wet and dry conditions, 16 objective test equipment standards such as rolling resistance and performance at high speeds, and 5 subjective standards such as handling and driving comfort. Consists of traditional outdoor standards. " Detail isSee Porsche site..
I told you in the comments before, but on this Porsche's siteThe current Porsche certified tire list is postedIt has been.
Immediately, I checked the N mark, which is a proof of Porsche certified tires, even on the tires of my car.
This is the Porsche certified tire for 911 Carrera (991) "Yokohama Advan Sport V105 N0".
And here is the Porsche certified tire for 911 GT3 (991) "Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 N1".
By the way, even in the same Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2, in the case of Ferrari, it is "K2". Oh ~. By the way, this tire is from Ferrari 488 Pista.
Certification mark for tires approved by each car manufacturer
Ferrari approved tires have an F or K mark, and Porsche has an N mark. So what about the certification marks of other manufacturers? When I looked it up,It was posted in detail on the site of Aihiro Tire Shokai Co., Ltd...

Cornes is full of California and California T
I stayed for a long time and talked with him, so when I went out to go home, there was a lot of Ferrari traffic in front of Mr. Cornes. It seems that our car was also stored in the garage or somewhere nearby, so it took a while to get it out.
It was cold to wait outside, so after a long time ... I went up to the second floor of Cornes Shiba, and while I was waiting for the cars to come out, I enjoyed watching the cars on display. I had you.
A lot of California and California T on this day.
Ferrari cookie problem solved!
Oh yeah, and here ↓
The other day, when I went to see CornesThis Ferrari cookie I got for children.. Last time, I brought back two pieces for me and my husband, but since I have three children in my house, "This is a fight if it is two for three people when I put it out, so I will break it up. ...? No, but it doesn't make sense to break the Ferrari cookie and put it out. " ..
So! This time again, he gave me this cookie, so he said, "Oh, please give me this one!" I was able to do it ^^
This time, I'm glad that Mr. Cornes went to play again because he taught me various things and solved the cookie problem (this is important for me). Thank you ~ ^^
