    Fellow F40 Owners,

    Have any of you sourced a set of tires for an F40 recently? I am having issues finding a matching set of front and rear tires. I tried Longstone Classic Tires out of England and they are currently out of stock. I have searched Lucas Classic Tires and all of the usual suspects. Any help or leads would be appreciated. Feel free to private message me.

    Thank you,

    Tom

    I looked for a set of Michelin tyres earlier this year but no front and rear matching set was available in France.
    My dealer found a full set of Pirelli and I went for it.

    Do you want me to ask my dealer if it is still available?

    I think the fronts are the problem. The Michelin PS2 is available in 335/35-17 for the rear. But the PS2 front size are not available.

    I thought I read a while ago that the suggestion was to go to a PS2 in a 225/45-17 front which is a little skinner but at least you have matching tires and tread pattern.

    Let's see if anyone else remembers this.

    I have the same problem.

    There is a pirelli set available right now from the Ferrari official workshop (Modena Sport) in Biarritz. 3500€ VAT included. Should be ordered quickly as they will close end of next week for summer holidays and not sure if it will be available again in September.

    If someone is interested send me a PM and I will give you all the contact details so that you can deal directly with them.
