    you'd be surprised how often stuff like this happens in the countryside
    (or as people called it in my area: boredom)

    That's reminiscent of a famous photo (and the appropriately snarky
    caption) that appeared in Road & Track back in 1983:

    now if we knew what brand those were, for further reference?

    The tyre brand is irrelevant if the person behind the wheel is driving
    like an idiot, and in that type of car they often are idiots with more
    money than sense. :-(

    Assuming they're the tires that were spec'd by the factory for the car
    (Ferrari 512BBi), they'd be Michelin XWXs. Not a tire that's really used
    much anymore outside of classic cars.
