Historically, these tires have been chosen for vehicles like the Ferrari Testarossa, Ferrari 288 GTO, and Ferrari 512TR & 512M, with the 255/50YR16 P-Zero Assimetrico typically positioned on the rear. While the 225/50YR16 size might fit vehicles such as the Porsche 928 and Porsche 944, for a balanced front and rear tire setup, the 225/50 R16 Pirelli P7 would be a more appropriate choice. Additionally, for certain Porsche models, the 205/55YR16 P7 & 245/45YR16 P7 are also viable pairing options.
