Tire Types; Summer Tires - Maserati Levante 2019 Owner's Manual

Driving
NOTE:
Maserati recommends Maserati
Genuine Tires marked with "MGT"
logo specifically designed for its
models.
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
5
vehicle.
The Service Network 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.
