Ferrari tire sizes

We cover 5 Ferrari models across 10 factory fitments, spanning model years 2009 to 2024. The size that turns up most often on a Ferrari is 245/35R20, followed by 305/30R20 and 285/35R20. Wheel diameters run from 19 to 20 inches, so the trim and wheel package matter as much as the model year.

Ferrari approves specific tires. Ferrari-approved tires carry a small F on the sidewall, right after the size. Ferrari homologates a specific compound and construction for each car and marks it with an F. The same model without the F is built to the tire maker's own spec, not Ferrari's, and can behave differently at the limit even though the size matches.

Pick your model below to see the size for every year and trim, what it costs from budget to premium, and which tires are worth buying in that size. If you already know your size, search by size instead, and if you are not sure where to find it, our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where the placard sits.

Ferrari builds mid- and front-engined sports cars in Maranello and sells a few thousand a year in the United States, its largest market. Production is deliberately limited, and almost every car is ordered rather than bought off a lot. For tires that matters in two ways: Ferrari homologates each fitment tightly, and the sizes are specific enough that the choice inside a size is usually two or three patterns rather than twenty.

Tires on a Ferrari

Ferrari-approved tires carry a small F on the sidewall next to the size, and it is a genuine homologation: Ferrari specifies a compound and a construction for each car, tests it, and marks the result. The same tire model without the F is built to the tire maker's own specification, so it can match on paper and still behave differently at the limit, which on a mid-engined car with this much rear grip is the part that matters. Every Ferrari on this site is staggered, and the modern V8 cars have converged on one pair of sizes: the 488 GTB and the F8 Tributo both run 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear, while the Portofino and Roma use 245/35R20 front and 285/35R20 rear, and the older California ran 245/40R19 and 285/40R19.

Nothing rotates, and rear tires typically last a third to a half as long as fronts, so a pair of rears with plenty of front tread left is the normal purchase. All the approved fitments are summer tires; Ferrari does homologate winter sets for some models, but availability is limited and many owners simply store the car. Pirelli, Michelin and Bridgestone hold most of the approvals, and in some sizes only one pattern is available with an F.

The models that matter

The mid-engined V8 cars are the volume: 488 GTB and F8 Tributo on 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear. The front-engined Portofino and Roma run 245/35R20 front and 285/35R20 rear. The 2009 to 2014 California, the car that brought Ferrari a wider audience in the US, uses 245/40R19 and 285/40R19, and its 19 inch sizes are cheaper and more widely stocked than the 20 inch fitments that replaced them.

What owners find out later

Ferrari tires carry a manufacturing date that matters more than the tread depth on many of these cars, because a garaged Ferrari often ages its tires out long before it wears them out, and a ten-year-old tire with full tread is not a safe tire. None of these cars carries a spare. The F-marked versions of a tire are often a different part number with a different load index from the retail version, which is why a shop quoting the same pattern at a much lower price is usually quoting the non-approved one.
