Tires size of Pirelli P0 use on 348 Series Speciale

I'm 99.5% sure they're the same size as the standard 348s used. I think the only difference was the extra 25 mm of offset built into each rear wheel. Since SSs and Spiders used the same rear wheels you could look at the specs for the Spider to confirm. I'm not in front of my computer now or I'd check the Spider manual for you.

BTW, IMO the P Zero is not that great of a tire, especially considering its price. So unless you just really want an Italian tire on your Italian car I'd submit that there are better choices. Bridgestone was also OE on 348s and they make some nice tires in sizes to fit the 348.

Edit: just checked the Spider technical manual. Tires are listed as Bridgestone Expedia or Pirelli P Zero 215/50-17 up front and 255/45-17 out back. Interestingly, different inflation pressures are specified for each brand, so Ferrari apparently actually tested the cars with both sets of tires. Pretty cool.

Too bad neither brand makes the OE sizes.

Recently I had to replace my original P Zeros and went with Continental DW, pretty good tires for the price. Plus Continental's logo is similar to Cavallino (-;

 

Get 355 or 360 wheels for the car. They are safer. They are easier to get replacement tires. Make sure you use spacers on the rear ones and shorter lug bolts. Can't remember which front or back. Ricambi knows.

 

IIRC, he has 360 wheels on the car now and is wanting to upgrade to the original look.
