Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Tyres

Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series 1 1957–1959

Up until 1959 the series 1 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet came as standard with 16” Borrani RW 3526 wheels fitted with 6.00-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA.
The radial alternative for a 16” wheel came out later. The 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 is the best option in our opinion.
Also offered in period Pirelli made a 175 HR 400 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 radial tyre for which Borrani make a Borrani RW 3598.
The ideal innertube for these tyres is the Michelin 16F.

1957 Ferrari 250 GT Pinin Farina Cabriolet

Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series 2 1959–1962

The Series 2 250 GT Cabriolet (between 1959-1962) fitted 15" Borrani Wheel RW3591 and would have fitted 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 radials, which is still the best option to fit today.
Some people with the series 2 cars like to fit a wider tyre in the size 205/70-15 Tyres, in which case we would suggest either the 205/70 R 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN12, or the 205/70 VR 15 Michelin XWX as the best.
However It is worth pointing out that these tyres hadn't been invented when the Series 2 Cabriolet 250 GT Ferrari was in production.
For these tyres the Michelin 15F is the ideal innertube.

Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet S1 & S2 Differences

Production Years: The Series 1 was produced between 1957 and 1959, while the Series 2 was produced between 1959 and 1962.

Body Style: The Series 1 has a more traditional body style, with rounded wheel arches and a rounded front grille, while the Series 2 has a more angular and aggressive look, with sharper wheel arches and a squarer front grille.

Design Changes: The Series 2 features some design changes over the Series 1, including a longer wheelbase, a more powerful engine, and a four-speed gearbox. The Series 2 also has improved brakes and suspension, as well as a revised interior with more comfortable seats.

Performance: The Series 2 is generally considered to be the faster and more powerful of the two models, thanks to its larger engine and improved performance features.

Rarity: The Series 1 is more rare than the Series 2, with only 36 models produced compared to 200 Series 2 models.

Overall, while both the Series 1 and Series 2 are considered to be among the most desirable and iconic Ferrari models ever produced, the Series 2 is generally considered to be the more advanced and high-performance model, with a larger production run and a more aggressive design.

History of the Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet S1 & S2

The original 250 GT Cabriolet Pinin Farina Series I made its premiere at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm (102.4 in) and a body that varied from the Berlinetta. A total of 36 models were constructed before the Series 2 was shown in Paris in 1959. These latter cars resembled the manufacturing Berlinetta. There were around 200 Series II cars produced. The 250 GT Series I Cabriolet and Coupé was named ninth among the ten "Greatest Ferraris of All Time" by Motor Trend Classic.

In addition to the high-volume coupé, Pinin Farina created a simpler 250 GT Cabriolet for series manufacturing. The GT Cabriolet S2 debuted at the 1959 Paris Motor Show, looking similar to the GT Coupé of the previous year, with the exception of the elimination of the side vents, and the exposed headlamps of the Coupé. A total of 212 were produced.
