Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari math

[francis newman (francis]

Ha Doug, but I just love the carbs!

16 inch rims.

Bridgestone Adrenalin Re002
 205/55 R16 91W front
225/50 R16 92W rears

My old tyres (as fitted when I bought the car) were Goodyar Eagle FI but 
although they had plenty of tread, and weren't cracked, were 11 years old. Time 
for a change.

Even on the drive home from the tyre shop I could feel the difference. Better 
ride, better response.

Best

Francis
