Which tires did your 458 come with?

You can choose the tyre brand when ordering the car, at least in Europe.

 

My dealer told me Michelin is the one that did the most development work with Ferrari on the 458. He said definitely go with the Michelin so I did.

 

PZERO is the most expensive one.

 

I know that 315/30/20 Toyo R888 and 245/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup+ N Spec are being put on the stock wheels for better lap times at the track.

 

the best tyres for 458 are the Bridgestone Potenza!!!

 

Mine came w PZero's

 

I requested P zero's and came with same.

 

PZero in 19" or 20"?

 

I have 20" sport wheels. It came with Bridgstone.

 

I have ordered Pirelli Pzero rosso with the delivery of my 458

I got Bridgestone RE050 (non runflat) on my R8 , I highly recommened them ...

 

the new potenza is the RE050!? , i believe, if this is what you mean , correct me if iam wrong , cheers....

 

This will set everyone straight: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?frontWidth=235%2F&frontRatio=35&frontDiameter=20&rearWidth=295%2F&rearRatio=35&rearDiameter=20&x=75&y=7

 

Only 20" wheels on the 458, no 19". So far, all OEM wheels/tires are the same size. Have to confirm on the new 5 vee, 10 spoke wheels.

458
Five Spoke 20”, 5 X 114.3 mm
Front 8.5J X 20 ET 46.5mm, Rear 10.5J X 20 ET 58.5 mm

RE050 and Potenza S001 is the same tyre but different tire pattern .. the Potenza S001 is the newer >>> checked with the Bridgestone dealer , they usually change the pattern often and the reason is to fight counterfeit ...

I would go again with the Bridgestone

 

iam confused now

The PZero Rossos and PZero Rosso System (directionals in front and assymetrics in the rear) are older tire designs. The new PZero tires were brought out in the last 2 years or so and are now being fitted to new Ferraris. They are a completly new design and usually have a much higher wear rating than the same size Rossos while providing equivalent grip. Limited sizes compared to the Rossos, but a better tire overall.

Thank you Terry !!!

 

The current issue of AutoWeek has a story about a new Michelin tire called the pilot super sport (PSS) which will replace the PS2s. According to Michelin, it was developed by working closely with Porsce, Ferrari and BMW's M division. Michelin claims much better performance over the PS2s and they are supposed to wear better also. They are already available as OE on 458s and 599 GTOs and will be available in Europe in January, NA in April.

The Super Sports are only available for the 599 GTO currently. 458 sizes should be one of the next releases.
