    I have an '01 456M (forgive for posting in general but I need to spread the brains here) and I drove my current Pirelli P-Zero Rosso Tires 355/25/19's into the ground - literally corded them. Trying to replace now, but I didn't realize this tire size had become nearly a myth. A couple of you have been helpful with euro sources, but at extreme prices (+2k. Each!? And older runs).

    Has anyone run a 345/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport on the rear end of any Ferrari and have the front end tire be 1" smaller diameter? Fear is ABS warnings...

    Or has anyone cracked this code? What's the right tire or do I have to buy 20" rear rims to get on with my Beauty?

    Many thanks forum - you've been amazing.

    295/30/19 have the same rolling radius

    The math (for the math challenged)::

    ( 355/25.4 ) * .25 = 3.49 sidewall diametrical height
    now working backwards
    ( 3.49 / 0.3 ) * 25.4 = 295.8

    But you loose 2 inches of width.

    A quick check of Tire Rack indicates "you are hosed". Sorry.
