Driving
Summer tires do not contain the all
season designation or mountain/
snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall.
Use summer tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect
the safety and handling of your
vehicle.
WARNING!
The summer tires profile and rubber
mixture are optimised for wet and
dry driving conditions. Summer tires
may not prove favourable for snow
conditions: install snow tires before
driving in such conditions to avoid
risk of loss of control and damage to
the vehicle as well as serious personal
injury.
All Season Tires (if equipped)
All season tires provide traction for all
seasons (spring, summer, fall, and
winter). Traction levels may vary
between different all season tires.
All season tires can be identified by
the M+S (Mud + Snow), M&S, M/S or
MS designation on the tire sidewall.
Use all season tires only in sets of
four; failure to do so may adversely
affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle.
Snow Tires (if equipped)
Some areas of the country require the
use of snow tires during the winter.
Snow tires can be identified by a
mountain/snowflake symbol on the
tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires
equivalent in size and type to the
original equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four; failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed
ratings than what was originally
equipped with your vehicle and should
not be operated at sustained speeds
over 120 km/h (75 mph). For speeds
above 120 km/h (75 mph) refer to
original equipment or an authorized
tire dealer for recommended safe
operating speeds, loading and cold tire
inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve
performance on ice, skid and traction
capability on wet or dry surfaces may
be poorer than that of non-studded
tires. Some states prohibit studded
tires; therefore, local laws should be
checked before using these tire types.
Snow Chains
Maserati approved traction devices (or
snow chains) may be used to improve
traction on compacted snow in heavy
snow conditions.
They should not be used in off-
road conditions where there is no
compacted snow.
Maserati tested and recommends
to use traction devices with air
suspension system in “Off Road 1” or
“Off Road 2” ride height in order to
increase wheel clearance.
In any case do not exceed 50 km/h (30
mph).
Maserati tested, approved and
recommends traction devices “Thule
XG-12 tg 265” (for rear 265/50 ZR19
tires) and “Thule K-SUMMIT XXL tg
K67” (for rear 295/45 ZR 19 tires).
Please, contact your Service for further
information.
The snow chains may be fitted only on
rear wheel tires.
Check the snow chain tension after
driving for a distance of about 50 m
(55 yd) with the chains fitted.
With the snow chains fitted, it is
advisable to deactivate the ESC system
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section).
