Care of the vehicle
Warning
The Ferrari Service Network has the necessary equipment for
tyre replacement.
Have the tyres replaced by the
Ferrari Service Network which
has the equipment needed to avoid damage to the sensor inside
the wheel rim which could be caused by carelessly performed
procedures.
Ensure that tyres are not kept in stock for more than 4 years.
The maximum limit for keeping tyres in stock is 4 years
provided they are kept away from sunlight, bad weather and
damp and where there is a low oxygen content.
Important note
The Ferrari Service Network can certify whether aged tyres
are suitable for use. In any case, tyres that have been on a
vehicle for more than 3 years must be checked by a Ferrari
Service Centre .
Warning
We recommend replacing tyres every 4 years under normal
use. Frequent use in maximum load conditions and at high
temperatures may accelerate ageing.
Warning
“Directional” type tyres have an arrow on their side wall to
indicate the direction in which they must rotate or which side is
the outer one. When replaced, maximum performance levels can
only be ensured if the rotation direction corresponds with the
direction indicated by the arrow.
Tyres on the same axle must always be replaced in pairs.
Regularly check the tyre tread (minimum acceptable depth
1.7 mm
). As the tread wear increases, there is a greater risk of
skidding.
Warning
Drive carefully on wet roads to reduce the risk of “aquaplaning”.
Wheel alignment check and adjustment
When you notice unusual wear of the tyres and in any case, at the
intervals prescribed in the “Warranty Booklet”, have the Ferrari
Service Network check the wheel toe-in and camber.
