Understanding the Vehicle
It is recommended to replace the two
front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel assembly,
make sure that the wheel’s
specifications (valve, TPMS sensor
and tire) match those of the original
wheels. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
The
Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to provide suggestions as to
the types of tires most suited to the
use foreseen by the Customer.
WARNING!
•
Do not use a tire, wheel size or
rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may
change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics, resulting
in altered steering, handling, and
braking operations of the vehicle.
This can cause unpredictable
handling and stress to steering and
suspension components. You could
lose control and have a collision
resulting in serious injury or death.
Use only the tire and wheel sizes
with load ratings appointed for your
vehicle.
•
Never use a tire with a smaller
load index or capacity, other than
what was originally equipped on
your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire
overloading and failure. You could
lose control and have a collision.
•
Always check the maximum speed
rating on the tire sidewall on any tire
on the vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tires. Risk of accident
and serious personal injury due to
excessive speed.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed
capability can result in tire failure
and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires
of a different size may result in
false speedometer and tachometer
readings.
Tire Types
CAUTION!
Before mounting any type of tire,
contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer
to receive the technical information
necessary to advise you on wheel and
tire compatibility.
As to the type of tires to use, inflation
pressures and tires specifications,
carefully follow the indications as
reported in the section "Technical
Specifications".
Summer Tires
Summer tires provide traction in both
wet and dry conditions, and are not
intended to be driven in snow or on
ice.
If your vehicle is equipped with
summer tires, be aware these tires are
not designed for winter or cold driving
conditions. Install winter tires on your
vehicle when ambient temperatures
are less than 40
°
F (5
°
C) or if roads are
covered with ice or snow. For more
information, contact an
Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Summer tires do not contain the
"M+S" designation or mountain/
snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall.
