The best and most popular Ferrari’s for road driving balance comfort with unrivalled performance, leaning on tyres which are durable with excellent and versatile grip. The Ferrari 488 Pista is one such model, alongside the Ferrari 365 and the hybrid Ferrari LaFerrari model.
The most commonly used tyre across the Ferrari vehicle range is Pirelli, specifically the Pirelli P Zero and the Pirelli P Zero Corsa models. Other brands that Ferrari recommends include premium names like Bridgestone and Michelin, Goodyear and Continental.
Off-road tyres are designed to maximise traction and performance on challenging terrains. Drivers can fit off-road tyres to their Ferrari, provided they match the tyre size with the vehicle and are suitable for both the environment and weather conditions. Drivers can alternatively opt for run-flat tyres, which offer the convenience of being able to maintain handling and driving consistency even with a puncture or flat tyre.
Modern and newer Ferrari models are all fitted with a TPMS, which enables run-flat tyres to be fitted, and maximises the driver’s access to important information that supports safe handling and an optimised performance. Older models require a manual pressure check when at your local fuel station or using an at-home pressure gauge.
You need only watch a single F1 race to see how often motorsport vehicles burn through their tyres and require new ones. However, everyday drivers should be able to get a few years – or a few thousand miles – out of a set of new tyres, provided they are suitable for the terrain, are well maintained, and compliment the season. Ferrari race cars use special racing tyres, while regular drivers can browse all-season tyres, winter tyres, summer tyres, 4x4 and off-road tyres, and more to ensure a safe but enjoyable driving experience.
