Understanding the Vehicle
Pressure" in section "Technical
Specifications".
Inflation pressure specified on the
table always refers to "cold tire
inflation pressure". Cold tire inflation
pressure is defined as the tire pressure
after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less
than 1 mi (1.6 km) after a three hour
period.
Check tire pressures more often in case
of significant outside temperature
changes, as tire pressure varies
according to temperature changes.
The pressure should be checked
and if necessary adjusted; tire wear
and overall conditions should also
be checked monthly. Tire pressures
change by approximately 1 psi (0.07
bar) per 12
°
F (7
°
C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when
checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68
°
F (20
°
C) and the outside temperature
= 32
°
F (0
°
C) then the cold tire
inflation pressure should be increased
by 3 psi (0.21 bar) for every 12
°
F (7
°
C)
for this outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6
psi (0.13 to 0.4 bar) during operation.
DO NOT reduce this normal pressure
build-up or your tire pressure will be
too low.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the valve stem
and the TPMS sensor connected to it.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the
original equipment tires to help you
determine when your tires should be
replaced.
These indicators are moulded into the
bottom of the tread grooves. They will
appear as bands when the tread depth
becomes 0,06 in (1,6 mm) or 0.16 in (4
mm) for winter and snow tires.
When the tread is worn to one of the
tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
WARNING!
The wet performance (aquaplaning
resistance) will decrease
proportionally to the thickness of the
tread.
Tires Durability
The service life of a tire depends on
various factors including, but not
limited to:
• driving style;
• tire pressure;
• distance driven.
WARNING!
Tires should be replaced after six
years, regardless of the remaining
tread. Failure to follow this warning
could result in tire failure.
Replacement Tires
NOTE:
In order to maintain high performance
and safety level under all driving
conditions, Maserati strongly
recommends to use tires equivalent
to the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is
needed.
For the size designation of your tire
see "Wheels and Tires" in section
"Technical Specifications".
The load index and speed symbol for
your tire will be found on the original
equipment tire sidewall.
NOTE:
Maserati recommends Maserati
Genuine Tires marked with "MGT"
logo specifically designed for its
models.
