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.
To more clearly identify the correct mounting positions for the tools relative to the wheel, the vertical column
of the tyre demounting machine is used as the starting point (12 o'clock).
Undo the core of the valve (A) to completely
deflate the tyre.
Place the wheel on the machine table and break
the bead on both the inner and outer sides.
Lubricate the bead (1) with the lubricant spray
provided.
