    Image Unavailable, Please Login So fairly new F12 owner and can’t stop getting OCD about the tyre profile differential between front and back. The wider rear tyre but same 35% profile means it is 42mm ‘thicker’ than the front and it is very very noticeable to me. The front tyre looks about right profile wise but the rear tyre looks way too beefy. Does it bug anybody else?

    Yup for sure, I think the TDF tyre profiles fixed the look a little more but it might just be the design of the rim. If you do change the profiles you'll need to alter ride height as well or it will look even more odd.

    Love this. I feel the same way. Drives me a bit crazy. So funny to see others who notice these details. My (new to me) F12 arrives in a few weeks!

    I notice it too and differential bugs me in terms of asymmetry. However, I really like the look of the overall rear profile. It fills out and suites the shape of rear wheel opening and fender. Very classic GT look and reminds me of the old tire profiles like on a 275 GTB. Suites the character of the F12 as a true GT and future iconic GT.
