Ferrari Purosangue SUV Tire Guide
The Ferrari Purosangue is a landmark vehicle — Ferrari's first four-door, four-seat car and their entry into the luxury SUV-adjacent market. Despite Ferrari's insistence on calling it a "four-door, four-seat car" rather than an SUV, the Purosangue features raised ride height, all-wheel drive, and the practicality that the SUV label implies. Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 producing 715 horsepower, making tire selection critically important.
OEM Tire Specifications
The Ferrari Purosangue runs 255/35ZR22 tires on the front axle and 315/30ZR23 tires on the rear, featuring a staggered setup with mixed wheel diameters — 22-inch front and 23-inch rear. This is an exceptionally aggressive tire and wheel combination for a vehicle of this size and weight. Ferrari equipped the Purosangue with Pirelli P Zero tires developed specifically for the platform.
The Challenge of Large-Diameter Tires
The Purosangue's 22 and 23-inch wheels mean very low-profile tires with relatively thin sidewalls. While this benefits handling precision and steering response, it also means reduced protection against potholes and road hazards. Owners should exercise caution on rough roads and be aware that wheel and tire damage from road hazards is more likely with these large-diameter, low-profile fitments than with traditional SUV wheel and tire combinations.
Recommended Replacement Tires
The Pirelli P Zero PZ4 in the Purosangue-specific specification is the primary replacement option. Given the unique sizing — particularly the 315/30ZR23 rear — aftermarket options are currently limited. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is expected to become available in these sizes as the market matures. For now, the Pirelli remains the default and best-supported choice.
All-Season Considerations
The Purosangue's all-wheel-drive system and raised ride height give it year-round potential that traditional Ferraris lack. However, all-season tire options in the Purosangue's specific sizes are extremely limited at this time. Owners in regions with harsh winters may want to invest in a second set of wheels in a slightly smaller diameter that accommodates a wider range of winter tire options.
Weight and Performance Implications
The Purosangue weighs approximately 4,480 pounds — heavy by Ferrari standards but lighter than most comparable luxury SUVs. This weight, combined with the V12's 715 horsepower and the staggered rear-drive-biased AWD system, puts enormous stress on the rear tires during acceleration. Expect rear tire life to be noticeably shorter than front tire life, potentially by a factor of 1.5 to 2 times.
Maintenance and Monitoring
Ferrari's advanced TPMS system monitors tire pressures continuously and will alert you to any deviations from the recommended values. Maintain the factory-recommended pressures diligently, as the low-profile tires have minimal sidewall flex to absorb impacts. Regular visual inspections of the sidewalls for bulges, cuts, or scuffs are also important, especially after driving on roads with poor surface conditions.
What to Budget
Tires for the Ferrari Purosangue are among the most expensive in the SUV category, with individual tires ranging from $500 to $800. The larger 23-inch rear tires command a premium over the fronts. A full set will cost between $2,200 and $3,200 before installation. Ship.Tires carries Purosangue-specific fitments and can help you navigate this still-emerging tire market.
