Tyres and rims
To avoid this problem, we are showing the entire procedure for removal and refitting of the tyres from the wheel
rim, using a CORGHI tool, model Artiglio A2019 RC (shown in the photo) or Artiglio A2020 TI,
recommended by Ferrari.
To prevent damage to the wheel rim, all parts of the tool that may come into contact with the rim are rubber
coated.
Only use rubberised tools.
Wear gloves and protective eyewear.

Removing the tyre

Ensure that tyres are not kept in stock for more than 4 years. Tyres may be kept in stock for a maximum
of 4 years, provided that they are kept out of direct sunlight, protected from the weather and humidity
and stored in low oxygen conditions. If necessary, the Ferrari Service Network will verify whether old
tyres are suitable for use. In all cases, tyres mounted on a vehicle for over 3 years must be inspected
by an authorised Ferrari Service Centre.
Tyre replacement is recommend after 4 years of normal use. Frequent use in maximum load conditions
and at high temperatures may lead to premature deterioration.
When removing and refitting tyres, DO NOT use tyre levers which could damage the rim and compromise
its protective layer. Use levers coated in protective material.
The photos shown here were taken using a rim from the 575M Maranello.
