2020 Ferrari Tire Fitment Guide

The 2020 Ferrari range blended mid-engine supercars, a front-engine V12 grand tourer, an all-wheel-drive shooting brake, and an open-top GT, all carrying Ferrari’s modern emphasis on sharp response and high-speed stability. That breadth makes 2020 Ferrari tire sizing more varied than a single year-and-make search might suggest, because the lineup spans seven models and six distinct sizes rather than one shared fitment. Every size in this group mounts on a 20-inch wheel, but front and rear widths change by model and by platform. Before choosing a tire, the first step is confirming your exact model and then matching the correct front and rear size pair for that car.

Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2020 Ferrari

Six tire sizes appear across the 2020 Ferrari range, and they vary by model rather than carrying across the entire lineup. Since every size uses a 20-inch rim and all of them are radial designs, the real decision is identifying the correct model-specific front and rear combination before narrowing down brand, sidewall style, or product details. Understanding that distinction first saves time and helps ensure the right match.

245/35R20 is a metric radial size with a 245-millimeter section width, a 35-series profile, and fitment for a 20-inch wheel. This size is available from BFGoodrich and Nitto in Blackwall form, with W speed-rated products to 168 mph; rim-width guidance appears at 8.0 to 9.5 inches on BFGoodrich applications, and load figures reach 1,521 pounds at 50 psi on one BFGoodrich option. Because it serves six different 2020 Ferrari models, this is a common front fitment rather than a year-wide universal size. It suits owners who need the correct 20-inch front size for one of those models and want to choose among modern radial street-tire options.

Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs focus on how 2020 Ferrari tire sizing changes from model to model, how to read the metric 20-inch sizes used across the range, and what to check on speed rating, sidewall style, setup, and long-term care.

Size Basics & Fitment

What tire sizes fit 2020 Ferrari vehicles?

2020 Ferrari vehicles use six sizes across seven model cores: 245/35R20, 305/30R20, 275/35R20, 315/35R20, 295/35R20, and 285/35R20. The 488 Pista, 488 Pista Spider, and F8 Tributo use 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear; the 812 Superfast uses 275/35R20 front and 315/35R20 rear; the GTC4Lusso and GTC4Lusso T use 245/35R20 front and 295/35R20 rear; and the Portofino uses 245/35R20 front and 285/35R20 rear. Every size mounts on a 20-inch rim.

That means a 2020 Ferrari search should always start with the exact model, then the front or rear position. Even though several cars share the same 245/35R20 front size, the rear fitment changes by platform, and that rear size is what usually separates one Ferrari model from another within this year.

What does 245/35R20 mean on a 2020 Ferrari tire?

On a 2020 Ferrari, 245/35R20 means the tire is 245 millimeters wide, uses a 35-series aspect ratio, has radial construction, and mounts on a 20-inch wheel. This size appears as a front fitment on the 488 Pista, 488 Pista Spider, F8 Tributo, GTC4Lusso, GTC4Lusso T, and Portofino. BFGoodrich and Nitto both offer this size, and Blackwall is the sidewall style used across the available choices.

Knowing how to read that code helps you separate wheel diameter from tread width and profile. It also keeps a front-size search from drifting into the wrong rear fitment, which is easy to do on modern staggered Ferrari applications where the front and rear tires differ dramatically in section width.

Do all 2020 Ferrari models use the same tire size?

No. 2020 Ferrari models share some overlap, especially the 245/35R20 front size, but the full lineup does not use one universal tire size. The 488 Pista family and F8 Tributo share the same front and rear pair, the GTC4Lusso models share another, the 812 Superfast has its own front and rear sizes, and the Portofino has a unique rear size.

That variation matters because choosing by year and make alone can leave you with the right wheel diameter but the wrong width or profile for your Ferrari. If you are unsure, check the model badge first and then confirm whether you are replacing the front axle, rear axle, or a complete matched set.

Buying the Right Tire

What sidewall styles are available for 2020 Ferrari tires?

2020 Ferrari tire choices include both Blackwall-only sizes and sizes with additional styling options. The 245/35R20, 315/35R20, and 295/35R20 sizes are available in Blackwall form, while 305/30R20 appears in Blackwall, RWL, and Redline, 275/35R20 appears in Blackwall and RWL, and 285/35R20 appears in Blackwall and RWL. Those sidewall treatments come from the product line chosen, not from the Ferrari model itself.

For most late-model Ferraris, Blackwall is the most natural visual match because it aligns with the understated, modern performance look these cars typically carry. RWL or Redline versions can appeal to owners building a more personalized look, but they should be chosen as an appearance decision after the correct size, load capability, and speed rating have already been confirmed.

What brands make tires for 2020 Ferrari vehicles?

BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac all cover parts of the 2020 Ferrari range. The common 245/35R20 front size is available from BFGoodrich and Nitto, the 305/30R20 rear size from Nitto and Pro-Trac, the 275/35R20 front size from BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac, the 315/35R20 rear size from Nitto, the 295/35R20 rear size from Nitto, and the 285/35R20 rear size from BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac.

Brand choice is most useful once model and axle position are settled. Some sizes give you a broad mix of manufacturers, while others are much narrower, so an 812 Superfast owner or GTC4Lusso owner may have a different brand-selection experience than someone shopping for the more common 245/35R20 front fitment.

What is the difference between BFGoodrich and Nitto choices for 2020 Ferrari front tires?

For 2020 Ferrari front fitments, BFGoodrich and Nitto overlap in the 245/35R20 and 275/35R20 sizes. In 245/35R20, BFGoodrich offers multiple g-Force-family options plus the g-Force Phenom T/A, with published rim-width guidance at 8.0 to 9.5 inches and one load figure of 1,521 pounds at 50 psi; Nitto offers the NT555 G2 in Blackwall form. In 275/35R20, BFGoodrich again offers multiple Blackwall choices, including a Y-rated option, while Nitto offers the NT555 G2 with a W rating.

That makes the comparison less about basic fit and more about the exact product character you want within the correct size. Owners who want to compare front-tire options should look closely at rim-width guidance where it is published, sidewall appearance, and the specific speed rating carried by the tire they are considering.

Fitting & Setup

What rim width do 2020 Ferrari tires require?

Published rim-width guidance appears on several 2020 Ferrari sizes. The 245/35R20 front size is paired with 8.0 to 9.5-inch rim guidance on BFGoodrich applications, the 275/35R20 front size carries 9.0 to 11.0-inch guidance on BFGoodrich applications, and the 285/35R20 rear size carries 9.5 to 11.0-inch guidance on one BFGoodrich application. Every tire in this year-and-make group mounts on a 20-inch wheel diameter.

Rim width matters because two tires can share the same 20-inch wheel diameter while still needing different wheel widths to sit and perform as intended. If your Ferrari has aftermarket wheels, confirm the actual wheel width before choosing a tire rather than assuming that any 20-inch wheel is automatically correct for the size you want.

Do 2020 Ferrari tires require inner tubes?

These 2020 Ferrari sizes are modern radial 20-inch fitments, and one 285/35R20 BFGoodrich option is explicitly marked TL for tubeless use. Other products use modern radial sizing conventions without tube-type markings. There is no sign here of tube-type collector-car construction in this 2020 Ferrari group.

Even so, the safest approach is to check the exact sidewall marking and the wheel itself before installation. A modern tubeless radial still depends on the correct wheel condition, valve hardware, and proper mounting practice, especially on high-performance cars where pressure retention and balance quality matter just as much as basic size fitment.

Can the original 2020 Ferrari wheels be used with all tire sizes?

Original 2020 Ferrari wheels can only be used with the tire sizes intended for that specific model and axle position. All six sizes share a 20-inch rim diameter, so the wheel diameter itself is consistent across the year, but section width and profile vary substantially from one Ferrari platform to another. A 245/35R20 front tire and a 315/35R20 rear tire may both be 20-inch tires, yet they are not interchangeable.

That means wheel compatibility should be thought of as diameter first, width second, and model application always. If your car is still on its original wheels, stay with the factory front and rear size pairing for that model unless you are working with a Ferrari specialist who is deliberately setting up a different wheel-and-tire package.

Maintenance, Storage & Longevity

How should I store a 2020 Ferrari when the tires are fitted?

A stored 2020 Ferrari should be kept in a cool, dry, dark space away from direct sunlight, electric motors, welders, battery chargers, and other ozone-producing equipment that can age rubber prematurely. Keep the tires properly inflated, avoid long contact with standing moisture, and move the car periodically if possible so one section of the tread is not carrying the same load for months at a time.

If the car will sit for an extended season, many owners either roll it slightly every few weeks or support it in a way that reduces static loading, depending on the storage setup. Clean, stable storage conditions matter as much as mileage on an exotic car, because low annual use can still age the tires long before the tread is worn out.

How long do tires on a 2020 Ferrari typically last?

On a 2020 Ferrari, tire life should be judged by age and condition as much as by tread depth. A good rule is to begin careful age-based evaluation around five to seven years and to treat about ten years as a point where replacement deserves serious consideration, even on lightly driven collector or specialty-use cars. The DOT date code on the tire sidewall is the starting point for that timeline.

That approach is especially important on Ferraris because many examples cover limited mileage yet still see spirited use when driven. A tire can look presentable in the garage and still be past its best service life, so age, sidewall condition, and pressure stability should all matter more than simply asking how much tread remains.

How often should tires on a 2020 Ferrari be inspected?

Tires on a 2020 Ferrari should be inspected before every drive and again before any longer outing or trip. Look for cuts, bulges, unusual shoulder wear, punctures, embedded debris, cracking, and any sign that the tire is losing pressure. Because these cars use staggered high-performance sizes, inspect the front and rear tires separately rather than assuming wear patterns will be the same.

A quick pressure and visual check is often enough to catch problems early, especially after the car has been parked for a while. On a high-performance Ferrari, even a small issue in one rear tire can affect balance and confidence at speed, so regular inspection is a simple habit that pays off every time the car leaves the garage.

Safety & Road Use

Are 2020 Ferrari tires safe for highway driving?

Yes, the 2020 Ferrari sizes covered here are modern radial tires intended for contemporary road use, and their speed ratings include W and Y depending on the exact product. A W rating is approved to 168 mph, while a Y rating is approved to 186+ mph. Those ratings comfortably exceed normal U.S. highway speeds, though they do not override the need for proper inflation, correct load carrying, and sound vehicle condition.

On a 2020 Ferrari, safe highway driving depends at least as much on alignment, brake condition, suspension health, and tire age as on the speed symbol molded into the sidewall. The practical takeaway is to choose the right size first, then the correct speed-rated product for your model, and finally make sure the rest of the car is ready to use that tire properly.

What inflation pressure should I use for 2020 Ferrari tires?

Inflation pressure for a 2020 Ferrari should follow the car’s factory recommendation first, because front and rear pressures are set around the specific model, axle loads, and intended handling balance. Tire product ratings also matter: one 245/35R20 BFGoodrich option carries 1,521 pounds at 50 psi, and one 275/35R20 BFGoodrich option carries 1,874 pounds at 50 psi. Those figures are maximum load-and-pressure ratings for the tire, not automatic service pressures for every Ferrari.

Use the owner’s manual or the car’s tire-pressure placard for the target cold inflation setting, then make sure the tire you choose has enough load capacity for that position on the vehicle. Avoid copying a pressure from one Ferrari model to another, and avoid transferring a figure from one size to a different size just because both use a 20-inch wheel.

What should I check before taking a 2020 Ferrari on a longer drive?

Before a longer drive in a 2020 Ferrari, inspect every tire for cracking, punctures, sidewall damage, bulges, and uneven wear, and verify that all four are at the correct cold pressure. Check the spare or emergency tire setup if your car has one, and make sure valve stems and caps are in good condition. Because these Ferraris use model-specific staggered sizes, confirm that the front and rear tires have not been mixed up during prior service.

The tire check should be part of a broader pre-drive routine that includes brakes, fluids, battery condition, and suspension feel, especially if the car has been sitting. A longer trip is exactly when an aging or damaged tire is most likely to turn a small issue into a major interruption, so a few careful minutes in the garage are well spent.
