Find Tyres for Ferrari 296

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• What grade of tyre does the Ferrari 296 need?

  Performance variants of the Ferrari 296 are typically supplied with W or Y speed-rated tyres and high-performance compounds. Replacements should match or exceed the original specification — going lower-rated can affect handling and may be illegal.

• What pressure should the Ferrari 296 run?

  The correct pressure for your Ferrari 296 is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.

• How often should I rotate tyres on a Ferrari 296?

  Most tyre makers and Ferrari workshops recommend rotating front and rear every 5,000-7,500 miles for even wear. Front-wheel-drive cars typically wear front tyres faster; rotation extends overall tyre life.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new 296 tyres?

  Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Ferrari 296 preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.

• Where do I find the load index for Ferrari 296 tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Ferrari 296.
