Vehicle model
Ferrari 250
The 250 range designates a family of Ferraris produced from the 1950s to the mid-1960s, among the most famous and most sought-after in the marque's history. It includes grand tourers and racing cars, among them the legendary 250 GTO (1962-1964), produced in very small numbers for GT-category homologation. Powered by a 3.0-litre Colombo V12, the 250 dominated GT competition in the early 1960s and today represents a pinnacle of automotive collecting, with some examples reaching tens of millions at auction. Reserved for collectors and enthusiasts, the 250 has no modern daily-use purpose. In terms of tires, it uses period fitments with bias-ply tires and small-diameter wheels, specific to classic cars, with no winter use.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Ferrari modernes utilisent généralement de grandes jantes en alliage forgé, le plus souvent de 19 à 21 pouces de diamètre, avec des montages étagés (roues et pneus arrière plus larges qu'à l'avant) typiques des voitures de sport à propulsion. Les pneus sont à profil très bas et à indices de vitesse élevés, souvent dans des dimensions spécifiques au modèle. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) varie selon les modèles. Au Québec, la loi impose des pneus d'hiver homologués durant la saison froide : un second train de roues hiver, dans un diamètre parfois réduit, est fortement recommandé. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte d'origine et l'homologation avant l'achat.
