    Think you will have problems with the traction control light on the dash. I have heard some people say its fine and others say no. I wouldn't do it. Sorry.

    These will NOT work on a 458. As has been hinted on, it will cause issues with the traction control system. And even if that was not the case, they would look terrible on a stock 458 as the size will cause both a huge gap in the rear wheel arch, and set the car in a reversed wedge shape with the front sitting higher than the rear.

    These tyres will fit the following

    Speciale
    488
    Pista
    F8

    Well in that awkward position when someone says they want them and them disappears. Meanwhile others express interest. Paypal works for us.

    I live local in Tampa...wish these where Cup2 tires.... my 488 came with Pirelli P Zero but the car needs better traction and I want to get a set of wheels and tires for track days.

    Cool. Good info here. So while we were on the topic what about swapping stock size rear 458 tires to 305/30/20 leaving everything else the same sizes. (One size up from stock on rear)

    No... 305(30R20 is not one size up from stock. It is MUCH smaller in diameter!. They will not work. The only way you'll get those to work, is if you fit 245/30R20 front tyres, and those will look absolutely silly on a 458. 305/30R20 has a diameter of 27.2" and stock 295/35R20 is 28.1".

    458 owners, listen. You cannot run the 488 or Speciale spec tyres on your cars, not even if you use stock fronts. No if's, no but's, that's just how it is.

    I did not disappear, I needed to verify a technical issue before proceeding.

    Money sent via PayPal, and to show good faith on what we agreed, the original price not the reduced price.
