Ferrari Testarossa Tyres

The correct millimetric early Ferrari Testarossa tyres are no longer made. For 1984-1986 models we recommend the 225/50 YR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 front & 265/50 VR16 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 F rear. For later models our recommendation is the 16” Pirelli Cinturato P-Zero System.

Ferrari Testarossa

Ferrari Testarossa 1984–1996

• The 1984 Ferrari Testarossa fitted 240/45VR415 Michelin TRX GT front tyres and 280/45 R415 Michelin TRX tyres on centre lock wheels.
• Sadly, although Michelin do still make a range of TRX tyres they no longer make the 280/45R415 Michelin TRX. We suggest instead fitting 16” wheels.
• Ferrari's original and recommended tyres for a pre-1986 Testarossa are the 225/50 YR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 on the front and 265/50 VR16 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 F on the rear, as seen in our Pirelli Tyre Fitment Guide.
• The best post-1986 Ferrari Testarossa tyre option presently is the 225/50YR16 & 255/50 YR 16 Pirelli P-Zero on 16” wheels.
• In 1986 the Testarossa fitted 16” wheels with 225/50 R16 and 255/50 R16 Goodyear Gatorback tyres that are no longer produced. See below or click to see Original Ferrari Testarossa Tyres.
• We recommend fitting 225/50ZR16 Pirelli P-Zero front and 255/50ZR16 Pirelli P-Zero Asimmetrico.
• The “P-Zero System” that was fitted to the Ferrari Testarossa was the directional (P-Zero Directionale) front tyre, with asymmetric (P-Zero Asimmetrico) tyres on the rear.
• Michelin also make excellent Michelin Pilot Sport tyres for the Ferrari TestaRossa. 225/50 R 16 Michelin Pilot Sport and 255/50 YR 16 Michelin Pilot Sport.
• High speed Testatrossa pressures would be: TRX front 41psi & rear 46psi - 16” wheels front 38psi & rear 41psi.
• The period Ferrari Testarossa tyre pressure recommendation from Pirelli is 37psi front and rear.
