Hans,

U bring up a good point.

Max,

Is this an EU requirement or just one of those "wonderfully characteristic" Italian
Quirks?

It's much the same in Norway. Can't run any other tire option then what the car manufacturer will certify for the car. Never been pulled over for it though.

It's not really that much of an issue. A rigid system is necessary to avoid people driving around with home-made unsafe crap. They rarely care about minor deviations from stock.

The new thing around here is tires that are far too small for the rims. Looks stupid and looks unsafe.

Shouldn't a company that manufactures the tires or one that specializes in tire and wheel installations be qualified to determine if a certain tire is acceptable with a certain rim??

What fits on a rim does not necessary fit inside a wheel well.
