    DON'T do it. What you are saying really is "Although Ferarri spend a few million each year on tyre and suspension development, I know better so I'll change the sizes that the factory recommend."

    Stick with the 225/40-18 front and 265/40-18 rear. 355's steer like a pig with wider front tyres for a start. Additionally, the car will sit 4mm higher.

    Bridgestone make a S-02A in the correct size BTW. You might need to pressure your tyre shop into admitting that they really make those sizes, not many people know that BTW, even the tyre dealers.

    If you go with the Pirelli's again, you MUST use a Direzionale NOT and Asimmetrico on the front. Be warned!

    Regards,

    Carl.
