32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa
The front axle of a Ferrari F8 Tributo steers and, on rear-wheel drive cars, often pulls as well. Catalogue front pressure is 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar. TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
Ferrari F8 Tributo placard versus sidewall
If the Ferrari sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/40R18 and others)
225/40R18 is the first planning size here. 225/45R17 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225/40R18 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Front 18-inch |
| 245/40R18 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Square-ish sport |
| 225/45R17 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Front sport size |
| 255/40R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Rear stagger 17-inch |
| 275/30R19 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Rear 19-inch |
| 235/35R19 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Front 19-inch |
| 275/35R18 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Wide rear |
| 255/35R18 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Rear stagger 18-inch |
Pressure against load
Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 34 psi / 2.34 bar |
| Full occupancy | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 35 psi / 2.41 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
Steering feel on the F8 Tributo lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 225/45R17; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the F8 Tributo
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep F8 Tributo numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this F8 Tributo.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 31 psi | 2.14 bar | 214 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 32 psi | 2.21 bar | 221 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 33 psi | 2.28 bar | 228 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 34 psi | 2.34 bar | 234 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 36 psi | 2.48 bar | 248 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Ferrari notes
No special Ferrari exception: the F8 Tributo uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Ferrari F8 Tributo usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
If the Ferrari sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this F8 Tributo
Is the sidewall number correct on a Ferrari F8 Tributo?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The F8 Tributo placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
When does TPMS warn on a Ferrari F8 Tributo?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/45R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/40R18, 245/40R18 and 225/45R17 as a planning band.
What tyre pressure should a Ferrari F8 Tributo use?
Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
How often should I check a F8 Tributo?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
