    can anyone clarify which of the Testa Rossa, Berlineta boxer both 365 and 512 fitted which Classic Tyres. i am trying to get some definative answers. I have various fitment guides which seem to be at odds with each other.

    I am also not 100% sure that when Ferrari changed from one model to the next they changed tyres at the same time.

    any help that can be offered gratefully accepted.

    I think the 365 BB fitted 215/70VR15 Michelin XWX up untill 1978. then i think in 1979 the 512 BB had the same size front and fitted 225/70VR15 Michelin XWX on the rear. i am not 100% sure about the date which i would like to claify.

    Then later 512 cars get a bit confusing. My Michelin guide says that a 512 B fitted 240/55VR415 Michelin TRX and then it says the 512 BB fits 240/45ZR415 Michelin TRX GT front and 280/45VR415 Michelin TRX which i bwelieve is the same fitment as the TestaRossa.

    can any body help with specific models and dates?

    My 1979 512BB (30713) has 215/70s on the front, and 225/70s on the rear.

    The sizes are on a sticker on the windshield (sorry for the poor picture).

    I've seen the Michelin guide and it's wrong. The correct tyres and dates are as follows:

    365 GT4 BB 1973 - 1976. See Ferrari Web Site here: http://www.ferrari.com/english/gt_sport%20cars/classiche/all_models/Pages/365_GT4_BB.aspx
    Front - Michelin XWX 215/70 VR15.
    Rear - Michelin XWX 215/70 VR15.

    512 BB 1976 -1981. See Ferrari Web Site here: http://www.ferrari.com/english/gt_sport%20cars/classiche/all_models/Pages/512_BB.aspx
    Front - Michelin XWX 215/70 VR 15.
    Rear - Michelin XWX 225/70 VR15.

    512BBi 1981 - 1984. See Ferrari Web Site here: http://www.ferrari.com/english/gt_sport%20cars/classiche/all_models/Pages/512_BBi.aspx
    Front - Michelin TRX 240/55 VR415.
    Rear - Michelin TRX 240/55 VR415.

    There is presently a special offer on Youngtimer tires if you go through the buying on line thingy then put the term " RubberGoods " into the discount codes section of the shopping cart; it will calculate a good discount for you, before you go through to the check out.
