    My Ferrari 488 tire sticker with recommended PSI states 30 psi on all 4 tires?

    Searching through Google and this forum it states 30 F 29 R

    Why the difference.? Maybe it's because a spider is heavier in the back?

    Can Non Spider 488 (GTB) owners tell me what their tire stickers in the drivers door state?

    Is yours a gtb? I'm think tire pressure recommendations and sticker is different for Spiders

    Are you really losing sleep over 1 psi?

    If so, never buy anything but a quartz watch.

    Ya bro, totally losing sleep. Losing weight, suicidal., depression, afraid to even sit in my car with the pressures all possibly off.

    Probably your 488 came with a different brand of tires from the factory. Check your owner manual, specific tire inflation based on brand are published in the manual.

    Yes mine was a GTB…. Spiders have more weight and different front and rear weight so that’s why the difference.
    Also for those that do larger wheel with shorter tire sidewalls and different that stock alignment settings need to check tire patch and adjust psi accordingly
